Hardcover. Blue and color illustrated DJ with white and yellow lettering; black boards with stamped lettering and illustration; 121 pp.; richly illustrated. "The Dodo is perhaps our most famous extinct species, now in this unusual book it is brought back to life. In a reconstruction of the past, Finnish photographer Harri Kallio uses his considerable photographic skill and imagination to create the illusion that these fascinating creatures are alive and abundant, living as they once did in their own unspoilt haven, the island of Mauritius." "The photographs are accompanied by a thorough history of the Dodo, including eyewitness accounts, pictorial sources and physical evidence from museums and libraries all over the world. There are only four museums that house true Dodo remains: Oxford University Natural History Museum, the Natural History Museum London, Copenhagen University and the Zoological Museum, Prague. Kallio used these resources, and many more, to meticulously research his subject, before carefully constructing his own, very accurate Dodo models. The Dodo and Mauritius Island: Imaginary Encounters, is a photographic tribute to the curious, comical Dodo and to the beautiful island of Mauritius."-- DJ.
