When Ceri Levy asked Ralph Steadman to produce one piece of art representing an extinct bird for an exhibition, the British cartoonist agreed—then painted 100 more. Captured in Steadman's edgy style, here are such birds as the great auk, passenger pigeon, and dodo, along with less familiar members of the feathersome firmament—the snail-eating Coua and the red-moustached fruit dove—and a variety of bizarre beasts that may not have ever existed, including the Gob Swallow, the long-legged shortwing, and the needless smut.
