Description

The American Museum of Natural History's Rare Book Collection contains some of the most extraordinary, vivid images from the natural world--and this beautiful gift box is perfect for any nature enthusiast. It features 60 stunning postcards printed with the best selections from the museum's Research library, divided into six categories (each with ten cards). The selections include: Fish, Mollusks and Other Animals, Insects, Reptiles and Amphibians, Birds, and Mammals. An informative ten-page accordion-style booklet provides additional details about the pictures and collection, and the box itself can be used for storing stationery and mementos.
