Inspiration/Story Behind This Product
Allan Cyril Brooks (1869-1946) was an ornithologist and bird artist who lived in Canada. His father, William, had been a keen ornithologist in India but growing up in a farming household in Canada made his entry into the career of bird art much more difficult than for his contemporary Louis Agassiz Fuertes in the US.

Brooks' painting style was more Impressionist with a greater emphasis on the habitat than on fine details of plumage.
