The Birds of America
By John James Audubon, 1785-1851
John James Audubon (1785-1851) published The Birds of America between 1827 and 1838: 435 hand-coloured plates, printed on Double Elephant Folio sheets so that every bird could be shown at life size.
On 26 August 1833 Victor Gifford Audubon sold a complete set to the Teylers Museum in Haarlem, which still keeps it. Heritage Prints makes its facsimiles from that set, at the size of the original sheet.
