F.O. Morris’s “History of British Birds” is one of the most desirable and valuable works of its kind.  Earlier in the 19th-century, James Audubon published his “Birds of America” which met the public with unprecedented popularity. Morris recognized that a similar work for British birds may garner the same popularity amongst British bird-watchers. He was right! This book, and its hundreds of color illustrations, not only served as a complete anthology of the birds in Great Britain, but also served as a stunning display!
