It's a beautiful book and I wish it had more artwork by each artist. But that doesn't mean it's a skimpy book. It's a huge book, actually, and covers a lot of artists. It goes clear back to wildlife artist Marcus Catesby, born in 1682! Covering that much history, there obviously was room for a whole gallery of works from each artist. Nevertheless, it's very interesting and informative, and a must for anyone seriously interested in wildlife art.
A blog about animals including wildlife, horses, dogs, cats, and other domestic animals, as well as the artwork I create from them.

Wildlife in American Art
I bought this book, Wildlife in American Art: Masterworks from the National Museum of Wildlife Art, a while ago but just today sat down and really took a good look at it.
