Summary
"Millions of nature lovers are familiar with John James Audubon"s exquisite portraits of birds. Less well known yet of immense significance is a second masterwork by the noted artist/naturalist, The Viviparous Quadrupeds of North America - a series of illustrations devoted to the four-legged mammals of North America. The story of these images and how they came to be published is the subject of this fascinating book, which accompanies a traveling exhibition organized by the Buffalo Bill Historical Center in Cody, Wyoming."--Jacket.
