“Robert Gillmor, ornithologist, artist, illustrator and author, was commissioned by Royal Mail to produce four series of stamps 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.”
