John James Audubon (1785–1851)

A propos de l'auteur
The American ornithologist John James Audubon was born in 1785 in Haiti. His boyhood was spent in France. At the age of 18, he came to the United States and made his home in Pennsylvania.. As a young man, Audubon enjoyed observing birds. He organized the first bird-banding flights in the United afficher plus States. In the 1830s, Audubon traveled to Florida and spent most of his time in the Florida Keys. Soon he conceived the idea of painting every species of American bird in its native habitat. To accomplish that goal, Audubon spent years traveling through wilderness areas enduring incredible hardships. His drawings and paintings of birds and other animals represent a combination of artistic talent and scientific observation. Unable to provide financially for his family, Audubon went to Great Britain in search of a publisher in 1826. Not only did he succeed in getting his work published there, Audubon also was made a member of the Wernerian Natural History Society and of the Royal Society. The Birds of America, in elephant folio size, was published in parts between 1827 and 1938. The accompanying five-volume text, called Ornithological Biography (1831--39), was prepared largely in Edinburgh, Scotland, in collaboration with William MacGillivray. Returning to the United States in 1836, Audubon dined with President Andrew Jackson and received a warm welcome from Daniel Webster and Washington Irving. While Audubon's drawings of birds and other animals were exceptional as art, they also influenced ornithologists and other zoologists to observe wildlife in natural settings. Audubon died in 1851. Audubon's two sons completed the Viviparous Quadrupeds of North America, which Audubon had begun in collaboration with John Bachman. (Bowker Author Biography) afficher moins

The Mammals of North America par John James Audubon
A nice, well-printed edition of Audubon's quadrupeds, with a decent if brief introduction.
Book from Christine ( Waller ) Kvindesland's Dad , Carl Christopher Waller. Christine liked to draw animals from it. Pressed flowers and card from her Husband Per Inge Kvindesland Value at 40 USD.
Collection of original Audubon artwork presented for a new generation, 70 years ago. The introduction gives a short history of bird conservation from Audubon's time until the publishing of this work. It shows that conservation discussions haven't changed much in the last 70+ years. It is enjoyable looking at the great artwork and comparing it to more modern art. I recommend this for anyone interested in art and/or ornithology.
