About This Item
Collingwood, Victoria : CSIRO Publishing, 2001. First Edition. Hardcover (Original Cloth). Good Condition/Good. Binding is tight but spine is slightly cocked. Text body is clean, and free from previous owner annotation, underlining and highlighting Endpapers have some very faint foxing, text is free of foxing Edges all neat and clean Boards have edge wear on both top and bottom boards and small chips on cover Driven by the excitement of discovery and description of new and exotic birds, the illustration of Australian birds flourished in the late 18th and 19th centuries, then fell into neglect. In recent decades, increasing interest in the environment has led to a revitalization of the art. A wealth of contemporary Australian artists has tuned their attention to birds and never before has wildlife illustration been so varied and accessible.
There are over 250 images representing 94 artists in the book. Some are well-known, others are published for the first time. All have been selected for their merit, be it ornithological, historical or artistic. The book links the greats of yesterday - including Ferdinand Bauer, Edward Lear, George Raper, John Lewin, the Goulds and the mysterious Port Jackson Painter - with some of the finest wildlife artists working in Australia today, many with an intimate knowledge of the birds in the field. Colour illustrations and B & W illustrations
