Synopsis


Robert Gillmor, ornithologist, artist, illustrator and author, was commissioned by Royal Mail to produce four series of stamps (now available from Post & Go machines) featuring British birds. Brought together for the first time in larger-than-stamp size, these prints demonstrate the author s lifelong love and appreciation of our nation s garden birds.

The pictures are brought to life by the author s own account of the process by which his lino-cuts are made, along with anecdotal descriptions of his bird encounters along the way. This beautifully-produced collection will be coveted by wildlife lovers, artists and stamp collectors alike.

À propos de l'auteur

Gillmor, a keen ornithologist started his long career as an illustrator at the age of 15 with drawings for the monthly magazine British Birds. Since then he has illustrated over 100 books, and served on council for all three of the national organisations: RSPB, British Ornithologists' Union and the British Trust for Ornithology. His masterly linocut prints have graced books, greetings cards, posters and now stamps, perfectly capturing the essence of his subjects - what ornithologists call 'the jizz'.
