About This Item
(London: W.H. Allen, 1987) 0491033052. 8vo; original black boards, lettered in gilt on spine; laminated pictorial dustwrapper; pp. 384. Dustwrapper slightly creased to top edge of upper panel, sunned on spine panel and a little foxed on reverse side; light soiling to fore-edge. Good condition. Translated from the French by Carys Lewis-Le Disez in collaboration with Jean Yves-Le Disez. "A romantic dreamer and an incredibly talented artist, Jean-Jacques Audubon remains to this day a source of inspiration for thousands of ecologists and artists. In an attempt to do justice to both the man and the artist, Claude Chebel has combined meticulously researched historical detail with an exciting prose style to produce an extraordinary book that reads like an novel and informs and fascinates like a biography." .
