When a renowned nature artist and a master 
engraver combine their talents, the result is 
sheer magic! And there is magic in the original 
color engravings that comprise this unique col- 
lection. Eight of the world's most beautiful and 
delightful songbirds are interpreted in art by 
the famed ornithological artist Robin Hill and 
the distinguished engraver Yves Beaujard. 
Created in the tradition of John James Au- 
dubon. these new color engravings are not 
only works of art — they are also a lovely en- 
hancement for your home. And you will be 
able to display each one the moment it 
arrives — because it will be sent to you matted 
in silk and framed Moreover, you can exam- 
ine the first engraving — The Baltimore 
Oriole — free for 15 days. 
Realistic art — masterful engraving 
A perfectionist in every sense. Robin Hill pro- 
duced dozens of sketches of each bird from 
every angle Next he refined his sketches, over 
and over again, before creating the final art. 
Hill has meticulously portrayed every detail, 
every feature of the birds — and has paid care- 
ful attention to re-creating their magnificent 
colors. The brilliant black and orange of The 
Baltimore Oriole, the rich blue of The Indigo 
Bunting, the marvelous tones of The Euro- 
pean Goldfinch. The Rufous Whistler. The 
Linnet. The Long- tailed Rosefinch. The 
Multicolored Tanager and The Diamond 
Firetail. 
Engraver Yves Beaujard then took the art- 
ist's original works and hand-engraved the 
master plate for each — making sure to cap- 
ture every element and every subtle nuance 
of the artist's work. 
This method of working — the artist and en- 
graver together — is all but a lost art in our day. 
Yet the result is well worth the effort. For the 
final engravings are works of stunning beauty 
And they are unusual — because hand- 
engraving adds a crispness of line and detail 
that other art forms rarely achieve.
