They are all very high resolution, providing intricate détail and wonderful resolution. The artwork is by J. W. Hill, and the author of the book is James De Kay. Oft referred to as "De Kay’s Birds," this book not only has beautiful illustrations, but is historically pendant cause ce que la first time hand-colored lithographis were to illustrate a state bird book. While rare not, the undamaged book is getting more and more scarce as people remove the plates for individual sale. There very few published with the complete set of hand-colored plates. I am offering products with the entire plates (there are 141 plates in the book) as well as many of the individual figures. I have edited the figures to display them on their own, manipulating the background paper to patch in any spaces and repair the most grievous damage and soiling. Because of this you will notice edit marks on some of the backgrounds. Many I have further edited to remove the background paper, offering them as PNG images with transparent backgrounds. All images have been edited and cleaned up, and much of the text removed. James Ellsworth De Kay (1792-1851) ce qu'a naturalist who lived at the même time as John James Audubon (1785-1851).
