In these 116 portraits of species collected in America and Europe, we see Audubon inventing his ingenious methods of posing and depicting his subjects, and we trace his development into a scientist and an artist who could proudly sign his artworks "drawn from Nature." --From publisher description.

The drawings reproduced in this volume are held in the collections of the Houghton Library and the Museum of Comparative Zoology, Harvard University. They date from periods Audubon spent in France, Pennsylvania, New York, Kentucky, and Louisiana from 1805 to 1821.
Issued in cloth-covered slipcase (30 x 37 cm) with illustrated label.
