"Out from the Shadows: John Mitchell Cantle 1849-1919" is a book by Mark R Cabouret that explores the life and work of John Mitchell Cantle, Australia's first native-born ornithological draughtsman. The book provides biographical details about Cantle and examines his professional life as a draughtsman and his output as an ornithological artist. It also discusses Cantle's involvement in natural history societies, his published illustrations, his primary interest in Australia's avifauna, instances of plagiarism in his work, and his efforts in cartography and landscape painting. The book is heavily illustrated with 681 plates and will be of interest to historians of natural history illustration, naturalists, and those interested in Australian birdlife.
