Audubon's Birds of America: 24 Art Cards - 9863

Breathtaking masterworks by America's greatest wildlife painter-- splendidly reproduced on ready-to-mail cards Wildly regarded by many as America's foremost painter of wildlife, John James Audubon (1785-1851) was the first to depict then-known species of North American birds in life-size, characteristic poses. The drama, accuracy, and aesthetic sensibility of his illustrations are unsurpassed--and his monumental achievements have influenced countless ornithological painters. The twenty-four Audubon masterpieces in this magnificent card collection demonstrate the artist's fidelity to natural detail in lovely, full-color renderings of the snowy egret, mallard, long-billed curlew, scarlet ibis, American flamingo, whooping crane, roseate spoonbill, wild turkey, pileated woodpecker, northern shoveler, and fourteen other birds, all shown in natural habitats in characteristic poses.
