About the author
Emili Tarré i Tarré was a Catalan lawyer and ornithologist who lived from about 1858 until July 17, 1918, in Barcelona. He is noted for assembling an important bird collection, later transferred to the Museu de Zoologia de Barcelona, where it became a foundation for the museum’s bird section.
He was also active in Catalan scientific life. The Catalan Wikipedia entry identifies him as president of the Institució Catalana d'Història Natural in 1908, which suggests he was a respected figure in the natural history community of his time.
For readers, another useful clue is that Project Gutenberg lists works under his name, showing that some of his writing has remained accessible well beyond his lifetime. I couldn’t confirm a suitable portrait image from the sources I checked, so no profile image is included.
