About this title

Synopsis

A fascinating tour of extinct birds uses more than three hundred illustrations in full color and black and white to introduce readers to more than eighty species of birds that have disappeared since 1600, including the passenger pigeon and dodo.

Reviews

"Never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee." John Donne's line, which appears on the dedicatory page, sets the tone for this elegantly written book by British painter Errol Fuller. The author of two other books on birds, Fuller describes here the lives, times and disappearances of more than 80 avian species since 1600. These accounts are illustrated primarily by beautifully reproduced paintings (from a variety of artists, including John James Audubon, J. G. Keulemans and the author) as well as by early photographs and engravings. This revised edition updates the original 1987 publication, reinstating a few birds found not to have disappeared and, sadly, adding a few more that have.
