Сборник работ английских иллюстраторов братьев-близнецов Эдварда и Мориса Детмольд,
выдающихся художников-анималистов, работавших в начале XX века.

This glorious collection of illustrations ranges from the Detmolds' 1899 debut, "Pictures from Birdland",
to a 1925 edition of the exotic "Arabian Nights". Other selections include curious creatures great and small
from "Aesop's Fables" and "Fabre's Book of Insects".
You'll encounter a meticulously rendered menagerie that includes a slithering python and fierce tiger
from The Jungle Book, a vain jackdaw with beautiful plumage, a glistening lizard and butterfly in a garden,
a lace-winged praying mantis, and so much more.

Collectors of fine art and beautiful books, as well as animal lovers, will treasure this distinctive art
from the Golden Age of book illustration.
