New York correspondent
Hello all,
I have a real fondness for the work of Louis Agassiz Fuertes, who was an artist and ornithologist. I recently purchased Eaton's Birds of New York 1912, 1914, which has more than one hundred colour plates by him. The work is available on the web, as well. I attach one of his better paintings from that work. Unfortunately, the quality of American printing, a century, ago, was not top notch.
Happy bird watching,
