In this artist’s book, Sarah Nicholls presents her interpretations of selected extinct birds and provides text to accompany a series of woodcuts and polymer plates produced in New York at the Center for Book Arts. Included are the Dodo, Labrador Duck, Seychelles Parakeet, Wake Island Rail, Norfolk Island Kaka, Spotted Green Pigeon, Spectacled Cormorant, Tahitian Red Billed Rail, The Great Auk, and Moa Moa, among others. Displayed here is Bachman’s Warbler, a bird native to the southeastern United States that migrated to Cuba in winter. The last examples were collected in the 1940s and the last reported sighting was in 1988.
