Description
100 mg Gould Bird Collection Galapagos Hawk 24K .999 Gold Foil Note
John Gould was a notable ornithologist, and his wife, Elizabeth Gould, produced beautiful, intricate illustrations to supplement his monographs. Working in concert with several lithographers, the Goulds created one of the most extensive collections of ornithological lithographs of the 1800s. John Gould worked closely with Charles Darwin to identify and categorize bird specimens collected during Darwin’s second HMS Beagle expedition to the Galapagos Islands. Gould and Darwin published their discovery of several new species unique to the islands.
The Galapagos Hawk is endemic to the Galapagos and is similar to the red-tailed hook that can be found in North America.
