How poignant it is to look at some of Gould's beautiful images of our animals and
know that some are no longer with us, and some are fighting for their lives? In this
book, author Fred Ford compares Gould's world, and the world that the animals live
in at that time, with the world today. John Gould's Extinct and Endangered Mammals
of Australia includes 46 Australian mammal species that, today, are threatened or
extinct and that were portrayed in the lavish colour plates in John Gould's 1863 publication,
The Mammals of Australia. Accompanying the pictures are accounts of the animals as
they lived in the relatively untouched Australia that John Gould knew, and evidence
of the attitudes of European settlers towards the native fauna
