- Title
Elizabeth Gould, Zoological Artist 1840-1848: Unsettling Critical Depictions of John Gould's 'Laborious Assistant' and 'Devoted Wife'.
- Authors
Ashley, Melissa
- Abstract
The article centers on representations of Elizabeth Gould's artworks for "The Birds of Australia," a seven-volume natural history of Australia's birdlife, featuring 600 hand-coloured lithographic plates. It discusses the limitations of representations of Elizabeth which overemphasise her relation to her husband John as assistant and wife. It also studies the critical reception of Elizabeth's artworks for "The Birds of Australia."
