Global Birdfair Auction Lots
Lot 1 - Peter Harrison’s SEABIRDS: The New Identification Guide — The Conservation Edition
Peter Harrison’s SEABIRDS: The New Identification Guide—a comprehensive field guide to the world’s 434 species of Seabirds—has also been produced in a large-format boxed collectors’ edition with a global, numbered print run of just 1,000 copies. This larger format allows for the beauty and execution of the book’s 239 art plates—featuring more than 3,800 full-colour figures—to be fully appreciated and studied. As Peter has devoted much of his adult life to supporting habitat restoration programs, he has decided that a portion of the proceeds from this collectors’ edition will be dedicated to seabird conservation around the world. As such, Peter has named this book, the Conservation Edition. This 600-page book measures 22.5 x 31 cm (9 x 12 inches) and is autographed by Peter Harrison, along with co-author Dr Martin Perrow and contributing artist Hans Larsson.
