About This Item
Norman, OK: University of Oklahoma Press, 1979 University of Oklahoma Press, Norman, OK. 1979. Hardcover. Stated First Edition. Inscribed by the author on the FFFP. Book is tight, square, and unmarked. Book Condition: Near Fine; light dust soiling to textblock top. DJ: Very Good +; light toning to spine; light bumping to head and tail; several small splash spots on rear panel. Brown cloth boards with black cloth overlay on the spine with bright gilt lettering on the spine. Beige endpapers. 147 pp 8vo. Fuertes was a turn-of-the-century American ornithologist, illustrator and artist who set the rigorous and current-day standards for ornithological art and naturalist depiction and is considered one of the most prolific American bird artists, second only to his guiding professional predecessor John James Audubon. This book covers a correspondence between the young Sutton that help aid and inspire him in his formative years. It is obvious that Sutton fells he owes much of his career to Fuertes and this account is his sincere tribute to his friend and mentor. A clean very presentable copy.
