Hardcover. Condition: Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. Some fraying to bottom of spine; a small piece missing to rear panel of dustjacket, with some edgewear. Birds of the Northern Forest is an introduction to some of the birds that live in the great North American evergreen forests. Published in 1966, it is a collection of brief profiles and magnificent portraits of 56 of the region?s most characteristic birds. Each plate is preceded by a written page or text which in turn is preceded by drawings that were reproduced from the artist?s preliminary sketches. James Fenwick Lansdowne (1937 ? 2008) was a self-taught Canadian wildlife artist. Lansdowne's creative process involved observation from life and from preserved specimens. His detailed watercolors of birds have frequently been compared with the work of John James Audubon ? they often feature a specific species against a largely white background ? but his subjects tend to display a greater lifelike quality and more natural postures than Audubon's. His work is in such public collections as the Royal Ontario Museum, the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, the Beaverbrook Art Gallery, the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria and in the collection of the Princess Royal and Duke of Edinburgh.
