Birds of Fiji in Colour

Very good used hardcover in very good dust jacket. Bumped corners. Bright, clean pages.

The birds of the many islands of Fiji are varied, beautiful, and sometimes very shy. W. J. Belcher has therefore done a great service by producing, as a result of long and patient study, a superb collection of paintings covering most of the dominant species. These paintings are sensitively handled and accurate in detail, and nothing comparable has been done by any other artist. The paintings cannot be placed on permanent view, so the permission to reproduce a selection in this book, given by the Trustees of the Fiji Museum, will be appreciated not only by visitors to Fiji but to bird lovers everywhere. The informative text is written by another enthusiast, Mr R. B. Sibson of Auckland.
