Magnificent New Printing of Audubon’s Birds of America
In this latest printing of the Baby Elephant Folio of Audubon’s Birds of America, the thumbnail images accompanying the descriptive captions are printed in full color (formerly in black and white); a bright teal binding cloth, as the cover heron’s plumage; a new systematic arrangement of the prints, following the modern classification of species; and new descriptive captions about each bird, allow us to appreciate Audubon’s achievement in the light of modern ornithology.
The Baby Elephant Folio presents all 435 of Audubon’s brilliant handcolored engravings in exquisite reproductions derived from the original plates of the National Audubon Society’s archival copy of the rare Double Elephant Folio.
Nothing has ever equaled the level of fidelity to Audubon’s original artworks achieved in this magnificent edition. Organized and annotated by Roger Tory Peterson and Virginia Marie Peterson and issued with the full endorsement of the Audubon Society, this volume is as informative as it is beautiful.
