Ornithology under the Brush

In an era when there were no digital cameras, these paintings faithfully documented the taxonomy and diversity of birds.
When I got this book, the first thing that attracted Tadpole Jun was the cover and back cover, which could be framed according to the dotted line.
Tadpole Jun has never used the word "exquisite" to describe a book, but the book is so well-deserved that you can see it for a day with pictures alone.
The Great Blue Heron
John Abbott
Guyana's crowned umbrella bird
Crimson-throated woodpecker
"Ornithology under the Brush" is not only a beautiful album, but also has the quality of the Chinese characters in the book.
This book focuses on more than 300 bird paintings from the Middle Ages to modern times and the people and events behind them.
From the more bizarre and fantastic early illustrations of exotic birds, to the precise and detailed scientific drawings of modern times.
It contains a dizzying array of birds in a variety of different styles and in large flocks, from the exquisite hummingbird to the giant pelican.
Speaking of ornithologists and painters, it is estimated that the first thing that comes to mind is Gould and Audubon.
In fact, this book is still an interesting "history of gossip".
How did Audubon hit Wilson, the author of American Ornithology? How did Gould and Lear "blacken each other"? Open Ornithology under the Brush and see what the masters really look like behind their great works.
Well, it's welfare time again, tadpole jun fans have a lot of animal-loving friends, so this time tadpole jun and the commercial press sent 2 copies worth rmb135 "ornithology under the brush".
If you are a "bird man", tell your story about it, and Tadpole Jun will choose two of them. Believe in Tadpole Jun, this book will definitely exceed your imagination!
