John James Audubon: Magpie Jays Slimline Journal

Beautiful and luxurious the Slimline Journals combine high-quality production with magnificent art. Perfect as a gift, and an essential personal choice for writers, notetakers, travelers, & students. Notebooks come with practical features too: a pocket at the back for scraps and receipts; two ribbon markers to help keep track of more than just a to-do list and robust ivory text paper, printed with lines. The ornithologist John James Audubon is best remembered for his influential book The Birds of America, which included over 400 beautiful artworks. This image was a collage created by Lady Hertford, who owned Temple Newsam House in Leeds, England. Lady Hertford cut the images from Audubon’s book and applied them to the hand-painted Chinese wallpaper in her drawing room. The two birds on the left here are Audubon’s depictions of Columbia Jays, now known as Black-throated Magpie Jays.  Format: Hardback Pages: 128 / Lined Size: 5.98 x 3.14 x 0.51 inches
