FNC64 BTNA All6

Rex Brasher’s artistic talent, love of nature, technical expertise, and persistence offer an inspiring story that should be better known by anyone with an interest in birds, nature, or art. From a young age, Brasher committed to visiting all of America’s bird species in their natural habitats. He spent a lifetime traveling, collecting notes and drawings, writing personal, insightful descriptions, and painting and re-painting birds.

By the late 1920s, Brasher — nearly 60 years old — was finally satisfied with his paintings, and set out to publish a collection of his work. Unhappy with color printing options at the time, Brasher had the paintings reproduced in black-and white, then hand-colored all 87,000 pages of the nearly 100 sets of twelve volumes of The Birds and Trees of North America, which he completed in 1932.

We’ve carefully reproduced six of Brasher's colorful illustrations on two 3-Packs of Field Notes Ruled Memo Books. Covers are a lovely felt-textured 100#C Mohawk Via “Pure White,” bound by three stainless steel staples. The bodies are 60#T Domtar Lynx Opaque Ultra, ruled with pale gray lines.
