A Look Inside Audubon's Aviary

John James Audubon is considered America's first great watercolorist, introducing innovative approaches developed over a lifetime of study. Even judged alongside today's technology, his dramatic ornithological works remain some of the most spectacular natural history documents and visually arresting works of art ever produced.

"Audubon's Aviary" presents all the dazzling watercolors that Audubon painted for the monumental engravings of "The Birds of America". This important new book illuminates the original masterpieces that were created by Audubon himself and tells the story behind their creation with quotes from his personal writings.
