John Gould would have to be one of my favourite bird artists. The image for this desktop came from the wonderful series "Birds of Europe" printed between 1827 and 1832.
Although Gould did the preliminary drawings, the final colouring and presentations were finshed by his very talented wife Elizabeth and friend and collaborator Edward Lear.
Variously called Cyanistes cyanus and Parus cyanus, the azure tit can be found in Central Europe.
You may have noticed that when I created this desktop I made use of papers from my regency collection :)
You can download a zip with various sized desktops HERE
