Published to accompany a 2023 British Library exhibition. Eighty detailed case studies highlight celebrated works, including John James Audubon’s The Birds of America, Matthew Paris’s Liber additamentorum, Maria Sibylla Merian’s Metamorphosis (1705), Mark Catesby’s The Natural History of Carolina, Florida and the Bahama Islands, as well as letters from Charles Darwin, the Baburnama, translated by Mīrzā ‘Abd al-Rahīm Khān, Japanese printed works by Hirase Yoichirō (1914–1915), Arabic hippiatric texts and the work of contemporary artists including Levon Biss and Jethro Buck. Rich, newly photographed, illustrations bring these works to life, while interactive QR technology will allow readers to listen to recordings of the sound exhibits as they read. Expertly edited, this powerful collection of objects prompt us to consider the increasing importance of technology and data to our understanding of humanity’s impact on the world’s faunal inhabitants. --British Library

Abstract

The natural beauty and diversity of birds have fascinated us for centuries. Since their first appearance in art in medieval manuscripts, birds have proved to be a popular and enduring subject for artists who have sought to capture the delicacy and majesty of these wondrous creatures. This beautiful book brings together a collection of artworks depicting birds from the Renaissance to the present. Showcasing in a range of media the forms, movement and colour of a variety of species, these works reveal how and why birds continue to captivate. Accompanied by texts which highlight interesting facts and tap into concerns around climate change and biodiversity, this book is not only a delightful visual journey through the portrayal of birds in art, but also a pertinent reminder of our impact on the natural world.
