It's That Time of Year!

and his acclaimed engravings from The Birds of California (c. 1865)
The Black Breasted Woodpecker
These wonderfully detailed hand-colored works make the perfect gift for family and friends. Why not gift a enriching historical engraving, that displays the merging of science and art in the 19th century.
Known as the Audubon of the West, John Cassin was a Pennsylvania Quaker who served as the
curator for the Philadelphia Academy of Natural Sciences. He was also a gifted taxonomist who succeeded
in illustrating and describing 198 birds that were not included in either
publication of his great predecessors Audubon or Wilson . Cassin’s great achievement was his
completion of only one volume of Illustrations of The Birds of California , Texas , Oregon , British
