”“A must have for anyone with an interest in bird art!” -Bird Keeper Report,

“”“It’s a book equally fascinating to read as it is to gaze upon, thanks to Kennedy’s biographies of the illustrators, which put these images into historical context. The reader will discover the stories of those who made these pictures, while also looking at the leaps and bounds in scientific work which took place alongside them.” - The Kansas City Pitch,
