In the Belly of an Ox: The Unexpected Photographic Adventures of Richard and Cherry Kearton

"Just as the Greeks had hidden from the Trojans inside the belly of a horse, Richard and Cherry reasoned they . . . might hide from birds in the belly of an ox." Concealed in the hollow animal, the brothers were able to photograph birds in their natural habitats. The results of this-and their other ingenious efforts-were published in 1895, marking a new era in natural history. Bibliography. Further information about the Kearton brothers. Black-and-white photographs. Full-color watercolor and pen-and-ink illustrations. A 2010 ALA Notable Children's Book.
