‎John Gould's Contribution to British Art: a Note on Its Authenticity. Art Monograph 2‎

‎Sydney: Sydney University Press for The Australian Academy of the Humanities 1973. Foreword by Professor J T Burke. 28 pages 16 pages of 41 b/w plates. Occasional light foxing. Pictorial card cover slightly soiled and with a faint crease by the lower edge of the front cover. The first half of the essay develops an interpretation based upon one signed Gould-drawing and upon indirect evidence from the style of Gould's contemporary the renowned animal-painter Joseph Wolf. The second half supports but modifies this interpretation in the light of recent examination of overseas collections. The styles of Gould's artists are discussed and the significant characteristics of overseas collections of Gouldian archives listed. Some original drawings and reproduced here for the first time. First Edition. Soft Cover. Very Good. 8vo. Sydney University Press for The Australian Academy of the Humanities Paperback‎
