John James Audubon (born Jean-Jacques Rabin) was an ornithologist, naturalist, and painter. His major work, The Birds of America, published between 1827 and 1839, was an extensive study documenting all types of American birds in their natural habitats. It is considered one of the finest ornithological works ever completed and he is the namesake of many streets, towns, and neighbours across America. This image was a collage created by Lady Hertford, who owned Temple Newsam House in Leeds, England. Lady Hertford cut the images from Audubon’s book and applied them to the hand-painted Chinese wallpaper in her drawing room.
