Birds have inspired humanity since the dawn of time: their graceful flight, captivating colours, and delicate mannerisms evoke hope, joy, and wonder. Across cultures, birds have been revered as sacred messengers, intermediaries between earth and sky, woven into myths and legends to convey moral lessons and historical truths.
In Jessica Roux’s Ornithography, each of the 100 entries highlights a unique bird species, pairing its lore with a full-page colour illustration in Roux’s detailed, darkly romantic style.
The perfect gift for birdwatchers, gardeners, history buffs, and anyone who cherishes nature, mythology, or art, Ornithography is as enchanting and whimsical as the feathered muses within its pages.
