New Limited Editions with Gold Leaf of Endangered Birds

A great thinning of the skies is underway. Around 50% of bird species are in decline worldwide. Our dawns and springs are quieter each year than the last. An almost unimaginable abundance has been lost. It does not have to be this way –– but we will not save what we do not love.

New from Jackie Morris are illustrations from her recent book, The Book of Birds. This is a lyrical catalogue of bird species native to Britain and identified as endangered by the RSPB Red List. It is a dazzling celebration of birdlife in Britain, re-imagining the classic field guide for a new generation of nature lovers.  

Each Limited Edition has hand applied gold leaf and includes a hand written quotation from the book.

Golden limited editions of birds and animals

Stunning new limited editions of birds and animals by Jackie Morris with hand applied gold leaf.

“As a child I dreamed of being an artist, of leaving the confines and constraints of school and uniform and essays and exams. I wanted to spend my time painting, to learn the shape of a bird, to capture the soul of a creature, it’s essence in paint like some medieval alchemist. I studied artists, fell in love with the early renaissance, but always came back to animals, birds, watercolour.”
