The Birds of America, Amsterdam Sampling

In 1971-72 the first complete edition of Audubon's great work, The Birds of America, was published in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, using the original folio copy sold by Audubon to the Teyler Museum in the early 1800's. This project was supervised by an international panel of noted ornithologists and Audubon experts. Since it was the first complete reprint of Audubon's magnificent double elephant folio, it is sometimes referred to as the Second Edition of Audubon's birds.

The images drawn by Audubon were printed on 100% cotton watermarked paper, with plate marks. The watermark on the long side of the sheet reads "G. Schut & Zonen Audubon" in recognition of the mill which produced this fine paper.

We offer a complete set of these prints and list below a selection of the 435 plates. In our pricing we have attempted to match or fall below the market.
