Acerca de este libro
Written by naturalist John James
Audubon, the Birds of America is one of the most prized and collected
books of all time. In addition to the stunning colors and detail in
Audubon's work, it is noteworthy also because of its ambitious scope:
to paint every bird in North America. Six of the birds painted have
become extinct since its publication.
Identificación de primeras ediciones
Originally published as a series of 425
loose hand-colored watercolor prints roughly 26 by 39 inches between
1827 and 1838, the Birds of America was collected in a five volume
folio edition in 1838 (called the Harvell Edition). Subsequent
editions were issued at a more affordable price in multi-volume
octavo editions. One hundred twenty copies of the first edition are
known to have survived complete, most now residing in institutions
and libraries. The most recently sold copy went to an anonymous
American collector at auction for $7.9 million in 2012.
