Illustrations of the Nests and Eggs of Birds of Ohio: Vol. 1

This fascinating two-volume work showcases the wide array of avian architecture found in the Ohio Valley region of North America. Originally published in the late 19th century, it features handsome full-page illustrations and textual descriptions of the various bird species. Illustrator Genevieve Estelle Jones was inspired to undertake this work after viewing a copy of John James Audubon's The Birds of America at the 1876 Philadelphia World's Fair. This work's union of artistic skill and scientific accuracy has won it great praise from ornithologists and naturalists.
