Great Auk Cover


I've just finished up formating the text and putting together the cover for The Great Auk, or Garefowl, by Symington Grieve. It's a neat reprint with a wealth of early data on this extinct bird. I may hold off sending it to the printer for a month, but in the meantime, here is a glimpse of the cover. I decided to add a color print of Audubon's painting of the Great Auk to the front; it was that or track down a copy of Morris' print in his text on British birds.
