Wm. H. Wise & Co. put out this illustrated wildlife encyclopedia as a substantial reference — not a field guide you'd stuff in a pack, but the kind of book you'd keep in a study or library and actually return to. 625 pages covering American fauna with color and black-and-white illustrations. The dust jacket shows wear, which is typical for a 70-year-old book that was used. The text block is clean. If you're building a vintage natural history collection or looking for a visually rich mid-century wildlife reference, this is a substantial copy.
The original American Wild Life Illustrated was produced under the New York Zoological Society's auspices in the 1940s. The Wm. H. Wise reprint editions made it more widely available through the 1950s. At 625 pages, it's one of the more comprehensive mid-century American wildlife references you'll find in a single volume — a practical choice for natural history collectors or anyone furnishing a vintage library shelf.
