Only 200 years ago, the Chicago region was part of a unique range of ecosystems stretching from Canada to Mexico. Nationally acclaimed photographer Terry Evans, based in Chicago, photographed hundreds of prairie specimens from The Field Museum's herbarium and zoology department for the 2002 exhibition From Prairie to Field, which debuted in The Field Museum's Marae Gallery. Here are 20 plates, beautifully reproduced in color, that show the variety of life present in prairie landscapes and reflect the types of specimens collected by natural history museums. The catalog may be easily unbound to separate the prints for framing. 46 pages. Softcover catalog in a tied slipcase.
