New Limited Edition Memo Books Pay Tribute to Nature Painter Rex Brasher  —  When You See This Field Notes Edition, You Have Seen the Bird Itself

Rex Brasher is, as the Washington Post recently wrote, the greatest nature painter you’ve probably never heard of. A self-taught artist, at age 16 he made it his life’s work to paint every bird in North America — and he succeeded, producing a 12-volume compendium in 1929-1933 featuring descriptions of nearly 1,300 species and subspecies, including 874 color prints. Dissatisfied with the quality of four-color printing at the time, Brasher had black-and-white versions of his paintings printed instead, then colored them himself with watercolor, totaling 87,400 individually hand-colored prints over four years. One hundred sets of The Birds and Trees of North America were produced and sold to collectors, schools and libraries. Twenty complete sets are known to exist today.
