Summary: "John James Audubon was probably the greatest of American naturalists and undoubtedly the greatest of all bird painters. During the greater part of his life he traveled through the then frontier country of America painting birds in their native habitats. His great work, The Birds of America, was engraved and printed in England in the 1830's in an edition of fewer than two hundred...This new printing of these famous paintings contains all 435 illustrations from the famed Elephant Folio, reproduced in the authentic colors of the original prints." --Dust jacket. |
