Artist Biography
Edward Hargitt (1835-1895) was a Scottish ornithologist. He studied art at the Royal Scottish Academy and primarily painted landscapes.

During later years, he prepared 1300 drawings of woodpeckers for a proposed monograph. The original monograph 'Book of Reference to the Picidae' (1895) is currently kept in the State Darwin Museum in Moscow, Russia.
