For the Love of Nature: EE Gostelow’s Birds & Flowers

Ebenezer Edward Gostelow (1866-1944) began his 50-year-long teaching career at the age of 15.

He was a keen naturalist and took every opportunity to study the local plants and birds. Gostelow would liven up his blackboards with captivating chalk drawings of birds and flowers. Gostelow’s watercolours of the local flora are detailed and delicate.
