Born in New York in 1887, artist Richard Evett Bishop graduated from Cornell University before moving to Philadelphia. Once he established himself in Pennsylvania, he joined numerous art societies and clubs in the area. Richard Bishop's prints center around wildlife. While he created beautiful landscapes to serve as backdrops to his paintings of geese and ducks, his most detailed work went into the birds, making them the focal point of every piece.
