John James Audubon’s Birds of America 2012

Showcasing a dozen exquisite paintings by John James Audubon—conservationist, preeminent wildlife artist of the 19th century, and namesake for the Audubon Society—Birds of America is an elegant gift for nature lovers. Every month is a beautifully reproduced portrait from Audubon’s Birds of America, which is widely regarded as the finest ornithological book ever published. A pair of soaring Black-billed Magpies. A Long-eared Owl displaying its intense colors. A Yellow-breasted Chat feeding his mate. Each portrait is rendered with precise attention to detail, suffused with energy and spirit. Fascinating text explores the story behind each image. The calendar comes with a fine art gift print on archival acid-free stock.
