Hardcover. Condizione: New. People have been fascinated by birds since earliest times; they appear in cave paintings, and served as auguries for the Romans. Illustrated with photographs, prints and ornithological watercolours, this study explores their attraction through the experiences of birdwatchers, egg-collectors, researchers including Audubon and Darwin, the avian fraudster Meinertzhagen, a woman who conversed with her parrot, and those such as Leonardo da Vinci who wished to fly.
