Quarto. (32)ff. Linocuts by Ross show fourteen species of birds commonly found in the urban habitat of Manhattan, including the gull, the screech owl, the American crow, and the ubiquitous pigeon. Each bird is set against landmarks of the New York landscape, among the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building, and the view from Central Park West. A celebration of cosmopolitan New York, in every way imaginable. Bound boards covered in gray-blue silk and with carved and colored cardinal affixed to inset panel. Fine in matching slipcase.
