"Part of our Applewood's Pictorial America series, this large format paperback includes 26 images of poultry suitable for framing. The 26 chromolithographs and etchings included in the book were originally painted by the artist J. W. Ludlow, an ornitholigal artist who specialized in painting domestic birds. These prints first appeared in 1873 in an illustrated book of poultry published by Cassell and have since become very collectible because of their rich color and loving detail."
