How big were the originals?

Every print we make is a facsimile at the size of the original sheet: the whole page of the book, with its margins, the plate number and the engraved caption. So the size of a print depends on the book it comes from. The largest is The Birds of America by John James Audubon, 26½ × 39¼ in (67 × 100 cm). Below are the sheet sizes of every work in our collection, largest first, shown portrait; many plates are printed landscape on the same sheet.
