During his lifetime and beyond,which spanned the years 1804-1881, he created over 3000 plates of birds in over 40 volumes.It is widely accepted that Gould sketched all 3000 of his plates. Gould's prints are masterful in design,composition,detail, accuracy and color.Even during their original time of publication, his plates were very expensive and highly sought by collectors.
