British artist Elizabeth Gould is known for her dedication to illustrating husband John Gould's famous and beautiful bird books. Australian artists Helena and Harriet Scott did painstaking work to illustrate their father's pioneering book on Australian moths and butterflies from the time they were teenagers. The Scott sisters are thought to be Australia's first professional female scientific illustrators.<br><br>In the twentieth century there were more women working professionally in science, with Hope Black (nee Macpherson) working at Museums Victoria's predecessor institution, the National Museum of Victoria, as Curator of Molluscs from 1946 to 1965. Hope mentored another female marine scientist, Fay Murray, who was involved in the Victorian branch of Malacological Society of Australasia and who eventually served as Honorary Associate at the National Museum of Victoria from 1969 to 1970.</p> <div class="tile full"> <a href="/items/1599244"> <span class="tileimages"> <img src="/content/media/38/570538-thumbnail.jpg" alt="Rare book - John Gould, 'The Birds of Europe' Vol 1, 1832-1837"/> </span> <span class="title"> <span class="tile-tag item" aria-hidden="true"> <span class="count-wrapper"> <span class="type">item</span> </span> </span> <span class="regnum">LIB 61616</span> <span class="heading">Rare book - John Gould, 'The Birds of Europe' Vol 1, 1832-1837</span> <span class="description"><h5>Rare Books</h5>'The Birds of Europe' is the second major publication by English ornithologist John Gould (1804-1881) and his wife Elizabeth (1804-1841).
