Absolutely loving this story of Genevieve Jones—and subsequently her family after her untimely death—who set out to write the “missing” companion to Audubon’s Birds of America. Genevieve and the Jones family set out to illustrate a volume documenting the nests and eggs that Audubon had omitted from his epic work. In the end they only were able to document one state, Ohio, but their multi-generational book has now been turned into a biography, America’s Other Audubon. Via Design*Sponge.
