A lovely pictorial account about walruses, covering their natural history, as well as their cultural significance and appearance in various artistic representations.

This volume is in near fine condition with a very good dust jacket. There is an old price sticker and the remnants of another old price sticker on the back of the dust jacket, and there is some very slight wear to the edges of the dust jacket.
