Birds of Australian Gardens-Paintings by Peter Trusler

191 pages : illustrations (some colour) ; 37 cm. The authors and artist devoted four years of study, research, and travel to the preparation of their material, and the result is a significant contribution to ornithological literature. The artist, already well known for the beauty and precision of his work, developed his style even further to illustrate this book. His series of eighty superb paintings have been purchased by the National Bank for a permanent collection. The text is packed with interesting and valuable information. #0720
