A. Lassell Ripley is a distinguished artist known for his deep love of nature and conservation, meticulous attention to detail, dedication to excellence, and the "vigor of his line".
This book highlights his best work with hunting and sporting themes: ducks, pheasants, turleys, woodcocks, and dogs.
