An especially colorful three-book set showcases vivid photography and artistry, each featuring an elite scholar and a commanding array of artistry associated with avian species and the pursuit of ornithology. Spanning a variety of regions, this library appeals to all aspiring bird watchers and enthusiasts, offering enjoyment at every turn and pioneering authors who expound on the subject. 96 full-color plates of Luis Agassiz Fuentes, The Natural History of American Birds: Eastern and Central North America, came to fame in 1939. Mid-Century Artist and ornithologist Roger Tory Peterson documented a full world of birds as an author and artist, and J.J. Audubon was an aspiring artist in the United States, trekking miles across early America. These first drawings came from ventures in Europe, published by Harvard U.

The slipcase for Audubon, published by Harvard U. is very good and clean. The older book, with Fuentes plates, has no Dust Jacket, if issued. The Roger Tory Peterson World Book is excellent with a dust jacket. All books are firm, intact, and without missing pages. less
