UPLAND GAME BIRDS AND WATER FOWL OF THE UNITED STATES. 
PROSPECTUS 
It is the design of this work to present to the American public a series of exact illustrations of some of our principal Game 
Birds and Water Fowl, drawn from and colored to the life by an artist sportsman who has given them years of careful and 
patient study, and whose sketches in water-colors have elicited the unqualified praise of the best critics, and of all who have seen 
them. 
The subjects chosen are those most interesting to American sportsmen. The sketches represent the male and female of 
each variety, and combine accuracy in color, form, and size, with rare artistic effect. It will be the aim of the publishers to 
reproduce them as perfectly and as elegantly as the art of printing will allow. 
Tile work will be issued monthly in numbers, each containing two plates, size 22x28 inches, handsomely mounted on 
heavy card-board and accompanied by descriptions carefully compiled, by permission, from Wilson’s “American Ornithology,” 
Audubon’s “ Birds of America. ' Baird, Coues, and other well-known authorities. The letter-press will be printed on heavy, 
extra-calendered, toned paper, and the utmost care will be taken to secure perfection and elegance in every feature. 
V* This work will be sold by Subscription only , and no order will be taken except for the entire 
series of ten parts , at $2.50 each.
