Description: Product Description
Breathtaking masterworks by America's greatest wildlife painter--
splendidly reproduced on ready-to-mail cards

Wildly regarded by many as America's foremost painter of wildlife, John James Audubon (1785-1851) was the first to depict then-known species of North American birds in life-size, characteristic poses. The drama, accuracy, and aesthetic sensibility of his illustrations are unsurpassed--and his monumental achievements have influenced countless ornithological painters.
The twenty-four Audubon masterpieces in this magnificent card collection demonstrate the artist's fidelity to natural detail in lovely, full-color renderings of the snowy egret, mallard, long-billed curlew, scarlet ibis, American flamingo, whooping crane, roseate spoonbill, wild turkey, pileated woodpecker, northern shoveler, and fourteen other birds, all shown in natural habitats in characteristic poses.
Bird watchers, lovers of fine art, and nature lovers will delight in sending or receiving these handsome cards.
