10,000 Birds

SEPTEMBER 24, 2020

When I saw the NL Pure in a webinar for the first time, immediately – before the webinar ended, I asked my Swarovski sales rep for a pair to test. That is my impression, though Swarovski webinar claimed that NLs have 20% wider field of view than ELs – and also the widest field of view of any binoculars ever!

These images are a wonderful cross-section of Gould’s best work, pulling from books on Toucans, birds of Australia, Trogons, Europe, and Darwin’s Voyage of H.M.S. All of Elizabeth’s birds were drawn from skins, though the Birds of Europe images benefitted from her observations of real live birds.
