This giclée print delivers a vivid image with maximum color accuracy and exceptional resolution. The standard for museums and galleries around the world, giclée is a printing process where millions of ink droplets are "sprayed" onto high-quality paper. With the great degree of detail and smooth transitions of color gradients, giclée prints appear much more realistic than other reproduction prints. The high-quality paper (235 gsm) is acid free with a smooth surface. English ornithologist John Gould (1804 - 1881) produced beautifully detailed lithographs of finches that were crucial to Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection. Gould, who studied birds and taxidermy, was hired by London's Zoological Society to maintain their ornithological collections. Dubbed "England's Audubon," he published over 3,300 color plates of birds that were vital to studies in Australia, Europe, New Guinea and Asia. When he died, Gould left behind unsold works weighing almost three tons.
