Rev. ed. / revised by John Parslow.

Archibald Thorburn FZS (31 May 1860 - 9 October 1935
Archibald Thorburn is one of Britain’s best watercolour artists, particularly known for his pictures of birds and mammals placed in beautiful harmonious landscapes. His style of painting represented a step change in wildlife art around the turn of the century and the lifelike renderings of his subjects brought him early fame and fortune.

Not only did he produce a prolific number of original watercolours and grisailles, but contributed to scores of natural history books for authors, ornithologists of the day, also finding time to write and illustrate six of his own. This book is a compilation of some of those bird drawings. It is a beautiful book.

During his career he produced a large number of prints (the majority in partnership with publisher Baird Carter/Embleton) over 200 are catalogued in Waters, D. (2008)
