Published by Quantum Books, 2005, hardcover, folio sized, 100 plates of coloured historic detailed bird illustration, index, 192 pages, 24.5 cms x 33.4 cms, condition: as new.

"The art of bird illustration is a time-honored craft, its roots going back to the cave paintings of pre-historic times. This lavishly illustrated survey is the ultimate visual tribute to the work of the great bird illustrators across the centuries and the dynamism and eyecatching appeal of their creations. With detailed surveys of the work of the classic illustrators, such as John James Audubon, Thomas Bewick and Edward Lear, and assessments of the contributions such artists made to both art and ornithology, it is a fascinating source of information and inspiration. The story is told chronologically, each chapter focusing on a specific aspect of the subject, such as the development of new printing techniques or fresh scientific insights. Throughout, the achievements of the individuals are explained and analysed, with particular emphasis on their methodical, scientific approach to their chosen subject. A final chapter brings the story up-to-date, and there is also an appendix giving advice on collecting bird prints.
