SCOTT AND STUART GENTLING
 First
published in 1986 Of
Birds and Texas was quickly deemed the most magnificent
book in the history of Texas publishing. Consisting of 40 exquisitely
detailed bird portraits and ten Texas landscape scenes, the volume
was enhanced with accompanying commentary by the Gentling brothers
and a personal essay by John Graves.
The Gentlings are twin
brothers, artists, authors, and lecturers based in Fort Worth. Having
discovered at an early age the print edition of John James Audubon's
Birds of America, they now share a passion for art, world culture
and wildlife.
