John James Audubon’s original book Birds of America is a masterpiece into the natural world. Printed between 1827 and 1838, it contains 435 life-size watercolours of North American birds (Havell edition), all reproduced from hand-engraved plates and is considered to be the archetype of wildlife illustration. Nearly 200 years later, the Audubon prints are coming to life once again thanks to these Museum Quality Vintage Illustrations.
