Tots els Ocells i Mmamífers del Món: 30 Anys de Lynx Edicions [All Birds and Mammals of the World: 30 Years of Lynx Edicions]

About this book

Language: Trilingual in English, Spanish, and Catalan

This exhibition catalogue takes us on a voyage through the history of Lynx Edicions and accompanied an exhibition that ran from 23 November 2019 to 13 April 2020. It tells of how the publishing house was founded on the basis of what seemed to many an insane idea; the creation, for the first time ever, of an encyclopaedia covering every species of bird in the world. It describes the adversities experienced in the early years by the three founders, Ramon Mascort, Josep del Hoyo and Jordi Sargatal, and how they guided the work to a successful conclusion. Other projects also figure here, some of them part of our history and others planned for the future.

The catalogue includes the 75 plates of birds that are exhibited, by notable nature artists such as Hilary Burn, Francesc Jutglar, Ian Willis and Ian Lewington, among others. Also included are 14 plates showing a good selection of the groups that form the Class Mammalia, mostly drawn by the well-known artist Toni Llobet.

Finally, and in chronological order, all Lynx Edicions’ publications are presented, some 200 titles dedicated to the natural world.
