From Prairie to Field

From Prairie to Field: Photographs by Terry Evans is a striking first edition photography book published by The Field Museum in Chicago in 2002. This collection presents Evans’s thoughtful photographic study of preserved natural specimens, including plants, insects, reptiles, small animals, and birds.

Known for her interest in landscape, ecology, and the natural world, Terry Evans turns her camera toward museum specimens, inviting readers to consider beauty, fragility, science, memory, and the relationship between living landscapes and collected objects. The images offer a quiet, detailed look at nature as preserved for study, creating a book that is both artistic and reflective.

A strong choice for collectors of photography books, natural history titles, museum publications, environmental art, and books connected to The Field Museum, From Prairie to Field is a distinctive addition to any art or nature collection.
