John James Audubon
The Birds of America, four hundred and thirty five life sized plates.
John James Audubon was a French-American artist, entrepreneur, naturalist, explorer, and ornithologist. His combined interests in painting and ornithology turned into a plan to make a complete pictorial record of all the bird species of North America. He was notable for his extensive studies of American birds and for his detailed illustrations, which were engraved in Scotland and England for a large-format color-plate (intaglio) book titled The Birds of America (1827 to 1838), and five volumes of accompanying text entitled Ornithological Biography (1831 to 1839).
