SIGNED BY ANGUS SHORTT on ffep; Clean, tight, unmarked; absolute minimal wear; From childhood days roaming the fields near his Manitoba home, Angus Shortt was fascinated by birds. Encouraged by his artistic mother and trained in wood engraving as a young man, he continued to study and develop as an artist during his work at museums and the field. But he found his true calling in 1939 when he was hired by Ducks Unlimited. His contribution to that organization and to the art world is chronicled in this book, which showcases his work over a period of more than 60 years and exemplifies his encyclopedic knowledge of birds.
