The voyages of discovery, particularly to the New World, fostered tremendous interest in the natural sciences and this enthusiasm culminated in many fine books illustrated by hand coloured and hand-engraved plates. This book includes the work of fifteen famous bird illustrators, including John Gould and John James Audubon and will appeal equally to the naturalist and lover of the fine arts." .
