The Birds Of America

de Audubon, John James

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.

Otras ediciones de colección

Owing to its scarcity and desirability, even the later printed first octavo editions (1840s) generally run from $50,000-$100,000 and individual plates from the first folio edition can easily cost $30,000. However, despite - and in part owing to - its immense popularity, collectibility and hefty price tag, more accessible, collectible editions of Audubon's opus are available. Later editions from the 1850s can often be had in nice condition for four figures and individual prints from the octavo editions can be found for a few thousand dollars. A morocco bound edition printed in 11 volumes by Volair Limited can present an attractive version of the complete work for under $1,000.

It is a very good book to bird watching with. He truly has a great eye for detail in his paintings. He has inspired me to draw the animals that I come in contact with while walking in the forest, around the Blue Ridge Mountains, at the coast, or where I may go or be at!
