WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF AUDUBON
There will never be another John James Audubon. America will not receive any more paintings or prints from this great naturalist and artist highlighting the discovery of our nation's birds and animals. Today, of the approximately 180 complete copies of the Double Elephant Folio published in London by Audubon, about 120 sets survive and of these about 100 are in public institutions such as the Library of Congress and the National Gallery of Art in Washington. These large bird prints, along with the animal folios and the miniature editions of our animals and bids are obviously limited and thus rising in price. They represent American history in its finest sense and in coming years will be scarce. Yet many are still within the financial means of a great body of collectors. I simply tell my customers, "Own a piece of America's history; buy an original Audubon print."
In this catalog, you are offered some of the prints from Audubon's first great work, the large folio Birds of America; his second work, The Viviparous Quadrupeds of North America; and a selection from the miniature edition of the birds and animals, all original Audubon prints. In addition, we have a selection from the Audubon Bien Edition (1858-60), as well as some prints from the works of bird artists Mark Catesby, Alexander Wilson, Johann Seligmann and John Cassin. Also offered are some excellent Audubon facsimiles from the 1972 Amsterdam Edition and the Fifty Best Watercolors from the New York Historical Society Collection.
