Jonathan Elphick tells the remarkable story of the development of
bird art through the centuries. The book features early, skilfully
executed but often fanciful images of birds, scientific
illustrations produced during the ages of exploration, and modern
approaches capturing the essence of these freest of all creatures.
This reduced size edition is chunky yet portable, and retains the
lavish finish of the original gift book. The outstanding selection
of images from the unrivalled collection at the Natural History
Museum includes exquisitely crafted works from some of the most
famous bird artists ever published including Audubon, Lear,
MacGillivray and Gould.
