Product Description

Written with the artist or sculptor in mind, this painstakingly detailed reference to the bald eagle covers the anatomy of the bird down to a feather. Exact anatomical sketches—done in multiple dimensions, from various angles, and in many different postures—provide a visual study unmatched by other references. Some drawings focus specifically on one part of the bird, such as a single contour feather, while other portraits show the whole animal in motion—soaring, diving, and perching. Color charts of the top and underside of the bird and a gallery of award-winning interpretations of the bald eagle round out the collection, making it an enduring source of inspiration for artists.

The illustrated Bald Eagle5
An absolute must for anyone who works professionally in creating America's symbol! As a sculptor of numerous public art life-size or larger pieces in bronze, this is the "new standard for reference". An absolute must for any wildlife artists' library! Should however be offered in a "Spiral Bound" Edition.

Excellent reference book5
A very comprehensive reference book on the eagle. Skeletal structure is illustrated and upper and lower details of each wing is provided in excellent detail. Color information is also provided. An excellent reference for woodcarving, painting and similar uses.

Great eagle reference5
I was looking for a good reference book on eagles and I found it with this one. I plan on purchasing the other bird reference books written by this same author too after seeing the detail in this one.
