Vintage hardcover book Birds of the Northern Forest, paintings by J.F. Lansdowne and text by John A. Livingston. A wonderful collection of Fenwick Lansdowne's highly acclaimed ornithological artwork. Published by McClennan & Stewart, Canada (printed in Italy), 1967 edition.
Lansdowne was a much celebrated and lauded Canadian artist who painted and illustrated birds. He never had a formal art lesson and despite being struck by polio since infancy, he mastered his craft and was the leading contemporary wildlife artist of his time. A brief biography is included in the collection.
In very good condition, minor wear to the book jacket cover and normal age-related yellowing of the interior pages.
