AUDUBONS BIRDS OF AMERICA (THE TINY FOLIO) (ABBEVILLE) (HB)

The greatest masterpiece of bird art in the palm of your hand. John James Audubon’s Birds of America (originally published 1827-1838) is one of the landmarks of American art, and of natural history illustration. This miniature book presents exquisite reproductions of all 435 hand-coloured engravings from the original Birds of America. The renowned ornithologist Roger Tory Peterson and his wife, the scientist Virginia Marie Peterson, have arranged the birds in modern taxonomic order and contributed an introduction about Audubon’s life and career.
