Neville William Cayley is known as ‘Junior’ to differentiate him from his father, notable ornithologist and painter-of-birds, Neville Henry Cayley.
Cayley Junior was born in 1886, and went on to study art before receiving the commission to illustrate the first of many books.
Perhaps the best known is ‘What Bird Is That?’, first published 1931, becoming an all-time best seller in Australia and still in print today.
