Prairie Wings: Pen and Camera Flight Studies
Russell Viehman, The Illustrators, St. Louis, Missouri, 1946
Description
Juror Notes
This is surely one of the remarkable books of the year! The results achieved seem fully to warrant the expense, where presumably cost was not a serious consideration. The gravure reproductions are magnificent. A splendid job of organization and of original and modern design has been done by The Illustrators, St. Louis, Mo., but unfortunately the text is sometimes uneven in color.
