Birds of the Forest

Very good hardcover in dust jacket. Sunning to DJ and a few small chips and tears. A touch loose in the binding. Paintings by J.F. Lansdowne; text by John A. Livingston.

James Fenwick Lansdowne, acclaimed as one of the world's greatest bird painters, provides 168 magnificent portraits in this spectacular collection of the great evergreen forest of North America, including the wide Great Lakes-St. Lawrence region.

Previously published in three separate volumes and brought together here for the first time in one comprehensive edition, the full color reproductions of Lansdowne's work will delight every reader.

Livingston's texts, always informative and readable, will satisfy the keen student of birds and intrigue the general reader. "The purpose," he says, "is to provide a number of selected glimpses into a world that is not ours, but one that we can enter freely, any time." Enjoy the endless variety of this beautiful area in the world of nature with these splendid portraits of waterfowl, birds of prey, swallows, woodpeckers, songbirds, and many more.
