Bird Illustration in the Twentieth Century, with Particular Reference to Publications on the British Scene Alan Harris
Bird illustration in the twentieth century, with particular reference to publications on the British scene Alan Harris An angled telescope allows the artist to see the subject and the sketchbook simultaneously when sketching in the field. Note that the telescope is reversed on the tripod head, to prevent the pan handle from interfering with comfortable drawing. Alan Harris ABSTRACT This article traces the enormous developments in bird art for illustration during the past 100 years, with particular reference to books, magazines and other publications available to British birdwatchers. Emphasis is placed on those individuals who have broken new ground in the field of illustration.The search for the ‘perfect’ field guide is one of the key themes during the latter half of the century under review.
