Abstract
THE beauty of the bird, its elegance, its grace and its wonder of colouring have ever attracted the artist ; note, for example, the prominence of the bird in Chinese and Japanese art. We have here two books dealing with bird portraits, in which the artistic theme is the predominant one ; but the approach is from different angles, one being that of the etching and the other that of the camera.
