Very good condition. "James Fenwick Lansdowne of Victoria, British Columbia, is one of the leading bird artists of his generation. Still under thirty, he has produced some of the finest portraits ever made of North American birds. Scientifically accurate, they are also works of art: original in concept, imaginative in treatment, full of action and life. Now for the first time Lansdowne's bird paintings are made available in superb full-color reproductions with accompanying text by the well-known ornithologist and former Executive Director of the Audubon Society of Canada, John A. Livingston." Click here for full details of this book, to ask a question or to buy it on-line. Bibliophile Bookbase probably offers multiple copies of Lansdowne, J.F. (illustrator) and John A.
