Edward Lear (1812-1888), primarily known as a writer of nonsense poetry, was almost entirely self-trained as a draughtsman, as a lithographer, and as a painter at an early age. From the start, Lear's ability to draw was closely linked to his strong love of birds and animals. He was already earning his living by drawing at the age of fifteen. In 1830, Lear began his association with the Zoological Society Gardens in London, where he created his hand-colored lithographs known as "Illustrations of the Family of Psittacidae, or Parrots," published between 1830 and 1832. Lear is also well known for the drawings that he made of birds during his time working for the British Museum for the prominent ornithologist John Gould.

A total of 175 books were made of which about 100 survive today. He painted live parrots at the London Zoo and some in private collections. The quality of his paintings of parrots established his reputation as one of the best natural history artists of his time''(Wikipedia). / ''Lear . . . was the first major . . . artist to draw . . . real live birds, instead of skins. Lear's first publication, published when he was 19 years old, was 'Illustrations of the Family of Psittacidae, or Parrots' in 1830. One of the greatest ornithological artists of his era, he taught Elizabeth Gould whilst also contributing to John Gould's works and was compared favourably to the naturalist John James Audubon. His eyesight deteriorated too much to work with such precision on the fine drawings and etchings of plates used in lithography, thus he turned to landscape painting and travel. . .''(see 'Dictionary of National Biography, vol. 32; London, 1892' and 'Pastier/Farrand Jr.: Masterpieces of Bird Art, 700 Years of Ornithological Illustration; New York 1991, p.122f.). isbn 3822852740.
