This is a reproduction of More Edward Lear's Birds.
Edward Lear was the first major bird artist to draw birds from real live birds at London’s Zoological Gardens, and was known to occasionally enter their cages, so as to get a better look.
Although the Gardens were closed to the public, Lear somehow wrangled an invitation to go inside and sketch.
Edward Lear is a nineteenth century poet and artist, who wrote mostly nonsense literature and limericks.
This book has amazing hand drawn illustrations that Edward Lear drew himself.
This collection will expand your imagination and delight your soul.
