An Edwardian Bestiary: 87 Color Plates

A prodigiously talented pair of English twins, the Detmold brothers created their first book of animal art at the age of 15. This full-colour collection ranges from their 1899 debut, "Pictures from Birdland", to a 1925 edition of "Arabian Nights". Other selections include curious creatures from "Aesop's Fables" and "Fabre's Book of Insects".
