This beautiful box set is drawn from the unrivalled collection of
images at the Natural History Museum, London. It includes
exquisitely crafted works from some of the most famous natural
history artists ever published including Audubon, Gould,
MacGillivray and Bauer. They are complemented by Jonathan Elphick's
detailed text, which interweaves ornithological science, art
history, biography and travel to create a vivid picture of the
lives of both the artists and the birds they painted. Jonathan
Elphick's book is accompanied by 36 stunning frameable prints (333
x 260 mm), pictured below, which have been reproduced directly from
the original artworks held by the Museum.
