There are twenty-three species and they are assigned to an order of their own (Musophagiformes). Found only in Africa, south of the Sahara Desert, they have long attracted the attention of ornithologists as well as amateur birdwatchers and aviculturists. Turacos - A Portfolio of all Species is the most lavishly produced of all Cooper and Forshaw works and for the first time presents the art of William T. Cooper as he intended. His paintings are reproduced to original size (750mm x 570 mm) and printed to the highest possible standards. Great care has been given to the choice of paper and the presentation of the plates in a hand made solander box. The Portfolio includes a separate text authored by the eminent ornithologist Joseph M. Forshaw. The Introduction to the Portfolio is written by Sir David Attenborough. "William Cooper is a great lover of birds and his affection for them is immediately visible in the vivacity with which he invests his subjects. They are so alive they seem almost ready to fly from the page." It is planned to follow Turacos with Cockatoos of the World using the same Portfolio format. | [E] | Collector Edition mit insgesamt 290 Sets weltweit.
