Fewer than 120 copies survive today, locked away in museums and private collections around the world. For this volume, the Natural History Museum in London disbound one of the two original editions it owns, and each of the 435 exquisite hand-colored prints of the original watercolours were photographed using the latest digital scanning technology. From an avocet grazing in a tidal pond to a zenaida dove perched on a flowering branch, each of Audubon's subjects is depicted with the grace and beauty of a living bird in its natural habitat. An avid outdoorsman and explorer, Audubon traveled from Florida to Labrador to Texas and the Dakotas to study and collect his specimens. Straddling the line between science and art, this book mesmerized 19th-century audiences around the world; today it stands as a reminder of the spectacular biodiversity of the North American continent, and of the pioneer spirit that Audubon himself revered." 650 0 $a Birds $z North America $v Pictorial works. 650 7 $a Birds. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00832970 651 7 $a North America. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01242475 655 7 $a illustrated books. $2 aat $0 (CStmoGRI)aatgf300311820 655 7 $a Illustrated works. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423873 655 7 $a Pictorial works. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423874 655 7 $a Illustrated works. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Ouvrages illustreÌs. $2 rvmgf $0 (CaQQLa)RVMGF-000000523 700 1 $a Sibley, David, $d 1961- $e writer of introduction. 941 $a 1 952 $l GZPE631 $d 20240305021923.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B63354A0625711EDA6A0D06357ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IW3Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
