Zustand: NEAR FINE. First printing, a large format trade paperback, issued simultaneously with hardcover. An "engaging" book on the appeal of owls through the ages, as interpreted by artists and craftsmen over the centuries - from the ancient Greeks and Athena's owl to the powerful symbolism of the owl in Eskimo culture, the depiction by naturalists such as Audobon and Bewick and whimsical interpretions in macrame, feathers, and painted wood. Profusely illustrated, mostly in full color. 72 pp. Near fine in illustrated wrappers.
