Description
John James Audubon's seminal work, The Audubon Reader, is a comprehensive collection of his life and art. Spanning over half a century, this volume brings together vivid 'bird biographies', correspondence with his wife Lucy, journal accounts of his river journeys, and brief stories that have long been out of print.
From the rugged wilderness of America to the romantic landscapes of early 19th-century England, Audubon's art and writings offer an unforgettable encounter with early America. This collection showcases his remarkable wildlife artistry, as well as his experiences living a hand-to-mouth existence while pursuing his passion for birds.
With its unique blend of natural history, personal correspondence, and literary stories, The Audubon Reader provides a fascinating glimpse into the life and times of one of America's most iconic artists. A must-have for anyone interested in wildlife art, American history, or the Romantic era.
