Book Description

Excerpt from Alaskan Bird-Life: As Depicted by Many Writers Accompanying the colored plates, which have been made by capable artists with critical care for accuracy, are outlines of the figures, which a child may color with his paint-brush or crayons, either from a living bird, or from the portrait plate. No better way has been devised of fixing the colors of a bird in the mind than this; and in many schools the coloring of these outlines takes the place of the ordinary exercise in drawing.
