Description

Starting in 1887, Arm & Hammer began producing some of the most beautiful and colorful non sport sets ever conceived – most all of them nature-themed, usually picturing birds, fish and animals. The Church and Dwight Company commissioned one of the greatest bird artists of all time to paint ninety species for use on some of their cards—Louis Agassiz Fuertes. Interestingly, Fuertes’s paintings of birds of prey were placed in a vault and not published because of the negative views held by the public for birds of prey in the early 1900s.


This 1981 Birds of Prey Corporate Series of prints by Fuertes measures 11.25 x 14.25 inches and include the Bald Eagle, Snowy Owl, Peregrine Falcon, Gyrfalcon, and Osprey.
