The screensaver showcases 48 stunning images of birds from Daniel Elliot's A Monograph of the Birds of Paradise (1873) and John Gould's Monograph of the Birds of Paradise (1891-1898), both renowned ornithological art books from the 1800s.
But the magic doesn't stop there. The images featured in this screensaver are sourced from two of the most magnificent books of ornithological art produced in the 19th century: Daniel Elliot's A Monograph of the Birds of Paradise (1873), and John Gould's Monograph of the Birds of Paradise (1891-1898). These books are a testament to the incredible skill and dedication of the artists and authors who created them.
In Elliot's book, he worked closely with renowned animal artist Joseph Wolf, who drew the illustrations featured in the book. Gould's book, on the other hand, was completed by artist Richard Sharpe after Gould's passing. The result is a collection of dazzling hand-coloured lithographs that are unmatched even by today's modern printing techniques.
So, if you want to bring the beauty of the Birds of Paradise into your daily life, then look no further than this incredible screensaver. With its stunning imagery and rich history, it is truly a masterpiece of software that will delight and inspire you every time you use it.
