Birds of Australia pairs A. Rutgers’ concise text with 80 colour lithograph plates after John Gould’s celebrated 19th-century folios, giving collectors a vintage 1967 hardcover gallery of parrots, honeyeaters and birds-of-paradise in one manageable volume.

The large-format picture book is fully illustrated and still wears its original dust jacket, making it an eye-catching shelf piece for lovers of natural-history art, Australiana or Gould’s iconic bird portraits.

This used copy shows gentle signs of age—light yellowing to the endpapers, occasional foxing to early and outer page edges, and jacket scuffs—but remains clean, unmarked, tightly bound and free of dog-eared pages.

Ideal for adult collectors, teen nature enthusiasts or any youngster ready to explore Australia’s spectacular avifauna through vibrant vintage plates.
