Four illustrations from John James Audubon (1785-1851) are reproduced here: Anna's Hummingbird, Seaside Sparrow, Carolina Chickadee, and Warbling Vireo. The works are from his seminal Birds of America, a collection of 435 life-size prints, still a standard against which twentieth- and twenty-first-century bird artists such as Roger Tory Peterson and David Sibley are measured. Audubon was not the first person to attempt to paint and describe all the birds of America (Alexander Wilson has that distinction), but for fifty years he was the country's dominant wildlife artist. Produced with an eye to long life, Pomegranate’s stationery sets feature outstanding artwork, an heirloom-quality gift box, and decoratively designed envelopes with matching seals. The forty-eight sheets are a computer printer-compatible size (A5, which is approximately 5 13/16 x 8 1/4 inches) and come in four styles (no blanks!) 48 sheets (12 each of 4 designs), 25 envelopes, and 32 matching seals, in an attractive, reusable box. Recycled paper. ISBN: 0-7649-3333-7. |
