Birds: The Art of Ornithology by Jonathan Elphick

Birds: The Art of Ornithology – Jonathan Elphick

A beautifully illustrated exploration of the history of bird art, this volume traces the development of ornithological illustration from early imaginative depictions through to the scientific precision of later natural history artists.

Drawing on the remarkable collections of the Natural History Museum, the book features works by some of the most celebrated bird artists, including Audubon, Gould, and Lear. Combining art history with natural science, it offers a fascinating look at how our understanding and representation of birds has evolved over time.
