Millions of nature lovers are familiar with Audubon's exquisite portraits of birds in his great masterpiece, The Birds of America. Less well known yet of immense significance is a second masterwork by the noted artist/naturalist -- a series of illustrations devoted to the four-legged mammals of North America. This splendid volume -- created to accompany a traveling exhibition organized by the Buffalo Bill Historical Society, Cody, Wyoming -- is the most comprehensive study ever made of Audubon's mammal paintings.The superb draftsmanship and extensive field research that characterize Audubon's famous bird paintings are everywhere evident in the renderings of bison, foxes, deer, and much more. The text, by four noted Audubon scholars, places Audubon's mammals in the context of his life's work and evaluates his enduring scientific, artistic, and literary legacy.
