"John James Audubon's indelible portraits of American birds have long since cemented his reputation as one of our truly magical realists.

Doubters should take a gander at the Library of America's splendid Writings and Drawings. This new compe ..."

" In 1805, Jean Jacques Audubon was a twenty-year-old itinerant Frenchman of ignoble birth and indifferent education who had fled revolutionary violence in Haiti and then France to take refuge in frontier America. Ten years later, John James Audubon was an American citizen, entrepreneur, and family man whose fervent desire to “become acquainted with nature” had led him to reinvent himself as a naturalist and artist whose study of birds ..."
