BOEHM’S BIRDS – The Porcelain Art of Edward Marshall Boehm
by Frank Cosentino, Frederick Fell, Inc., NY, 1960.
This comprehensive study reviews by chapter: A Critic’s View of the Porcelain Art of Edward Marshall Boehm; Boehm’s Birds: A Triumph in Porcelain; The Boehm Porcelain Process; Chronology; Bibliography; The Boehm Limited Edition Bird Sculptures; and Hallmarks.  The photographs in this book review not only his work but also many incidents in Mr. Boehm’s varied and colorful career.  In addition to a definitive biography of Mr. Boehm, there is a fascinating description of his techniques of design and decorating these porcelain works of art.
“Since this book is indeed one of the finest permanent records of the work of a great American artist, who has chosen one of the most difficult media for the portrayal of his art, we, the publishers, believe this book will make a noteworthy contribution to the personal library of every Boehm collector as well as that of every bird and animal fancier; to schools and fine art institutions; to naturalists, and to lovers and collectors of object d’art everywhere.”
