John James Audubon
1785-1851
One of America's first wildlife artists, John Audubon has a name
synonymous with conservation, but his realization about protecting
the environment came late in his lifetime. He was an avid hunter,
who killed the specimens depicted in his publications, but his in-depth
studies have left a strong awareness of the beauties and complexities
of nature.
