'The Birds of Prey of Southern Africa is the showcase for the wonderful paintings of birds of prey by the late Claude Gibney Finch-Davies. It is sixty years since this talented artist, of world standard, died tragically. His life and the circumstances surrounding his death are described in a brief biography contained in the book. He illustrated all the birds of prey, including the owls, known in Southern Africa at the beginning of the twentieth century - and only eight other species have been discovered since that time. He depicted the various plumages as they occur with great accuracy and detail so that this collection provides a fine reference source.' Editor’s note.
No. 649 of the subscribers' edition limited to 1700 copies.
