John Gould (14 September 1804 - 3 February 1881). Engraving by T.H. Maguire 1849 as part of the friends of the Ipswich Museum series. Gould was a wildlife illustrator and ornithologist born in Lyme Regis who early on became an expert taxidermist and curator at the Zoological Society of London. He took the opportunity to go into ornithology publishing, with his wife, Edward Lear, and others illustrating many of his works. His publications are now considered classics in bird illustration. He also advised Darwin on the birds he brought back from his Beagle voyages. Darwin originally misidentified the finches when he collected them on the Galapagos, and also failed to label them very well. John Gould identified them for him and alerted him to them as a new group of 12 closely related unique species of ground finch. The name 'Darwin's finches' for the group was applied by Percy Lowe in 1936.
