"Snowy Owls" by Roger Tory Peterson (1983). Signed and numbered 122/950

            In 1934, Roger Tory Peterson published his seminal “Guide to the Birds,” the first modern field guide, which sold out its first printing of 2,000 copies in one week, and subsequently went through 6 editions.  He co-wrote “Wild America” with James Fisher, and edited or wrote many of the volumes in the Peterson Field Guide series, on topics ranging from rocks and minerals to beetles to reptiles.  He developed the Peterson Identification System and is known for the clarity of his illustrations.  

Paul Ehrlich, in “The Birder’s Handbook” (1988), said of Peterson:  

“In this century, no one has done more to promote an interest in living creatures than Roger Tory Peterson, the inventor of the modern field guide.”
