Artist Biography

Edward Hargitt (1835-1895) was a Scottish ornithologist. He studied art at the Royal Scottish Academy and primarily painted landscapes. He also became an ornithologist and developed into an expert on woodpeckers. He was the author of the monograph on Picidae for the Catalogue of the Birds in the British Museum, published in 1890. 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.
