Fuertes Canvasbacks
A quick update on a Fuertes original which sold at auction at Skinner galleries in Boston a few weeks ago. This large Canvasback piece sold for $10,300.
I have recently become interested in historic bird illustrations. Do you know anything about J.L. Ridgway? He worked on some projects with Fuertes. Have you ever seen any of his original illustrations for sale?
Dear BMClock, A very interesting Blog concerning NHAs. Here I send you my blog address on which I publish my artwork related with Spanish Natural History, mainly in Galician region.
