 The Royal Society of London, to which Audubon belonged as a Fellow, displays Princetons, the world's only Audubon direct-camera capture facsimiles, in their International Conference Center. Princetons have a physical connection to the originals, which were purchased to produce
this award-winning edition. We think that's a jolly good recommendation.

 Yes. We have The Snowy Owl.  New: Reduced-size Great Blue Heron!
The brown pelican is a ponderous bird, but with its six-and-one-half-food wingspread has a powerful flight which it alternates with short glides. The bird carries a large pouch under its lower bill and has an appetite for fish as large as the pouch. American children learn of the brown pelican through a well known bit of doggerel that begins: "What a wonderful bird is the pelican-Its beak can hold more than its belly can,..."

Pileated Woodpecker

27 x 39  $800		 Audubon wrote of these parakeets, "The woods are the habitation best fitted for them, and there the richness of their plumage, their beautiful mode of flight, and even their screams, afford welcome intimation that our darkest forests and most sequestered swamps are not destitute of charms." In later years he was to write: "Our Parakeets are rapidly diminishing in number, and in some districts, where twenty-five years ago they were plentiful, scarcely any are now to be seen." This bird is now extinct.

"They are true prints, great paper, incredible detail and true colors. 
They are simply the finest Audubon facsimiles ever made!"
 William Steiner, author of Audubon Prints: A Collector's Guide To Every Edition.
In the early spring of 1832, Audubon and his assistant George Lehman stayed at the home of John Bachman in Charleston, South Carolina. Audubon wrote of the thousands of snowy egrets that had arrived there by March 25 and "were seen in the marshes and rice fields, all in full plumage." Soon he painted this magnificent egret, while Lehman added the landscape of a rice plantation in the Carolina low country.

 Hummingbirds, found only in the New World, fascinated Americans and Europeans of Audubon's day. To gratify this widespread curiosity with a number of views of the diminutive ruby-throat, he placed ten of them together, although in nature they are too pugnacious to associate this closely.

 		n this painting Audubon attempted, as he wrote, to give "a faithful representation of two as gentle pairs of Turtles [doves] as ever cooed their loves in the green woods. I have placed them on a branch of Stuartia, which you see ornamented with a profusion of white blossoms, emblematic of purity and chastity."

Chris Lane of the ANTIQUES ROADSHOW: "...of all the full-size facsimiles of Audubon's prints, those from Princeton Audubon Limited come the closest in appearance and quality to the originals.  Combining this with their very reasonable cost make the Princeton Audubon facsimiles winners for those looking to acquire some of the most dramatic American natural history images ever produced."
The figure you will see approaching from the bottom right, is said by many to be a depiction of Audubon himself. Like Hitchcock, Audubon inserted himself into his oils from time to time, but it is unknown if he ever did so with the engravings.
Limited to 1,500 prints worldwide, The Princeton Audubon Double Elephant Edition is said to be the finest of all Audubon editions. Note the detail when you enlarge the image at left of The Snowy Heron. Princeton actually purchased the originals and physically utilized them in the reproduction process. The prints you see above are in fact the world’s only direct-camera captures of the actual originals, from which they can be differentiated by the edition number penciled in the lower left, and the Princeton Audubon seal in the lower right.

Today's featured print, The Red-shouldered Hawk.
Princeton Audubon Double Elephant (Full-size) Edition

 

26 1/4 x 39 1/4  Archival fine art paper, direct-camera image paper

 

Audubon studied the habits of the pair of hawks represented in the full print  over a period of three years, and this devotion resulted in one of the finest works he did in Louisiana before sailing to Liverpool in 1826.  "The mutual attachment of the male and the female continues during life," Audubon wrote.  "They usually hunt in pairs during the whole year; and although they built a new nest every spring, they are fond of resorting to the same parts of the woods for that purpose."

Although it has been known as the "big chicken hawk," and "hen hawk," only a small percentage of the red-shouldered hawk's food is made up of poultry.  In truth, the bird is very valuable to the farmer, with ninety percent of its prey made up of mammals and insects injurious to his crops.


Pinnated Grous - Uniquely Audubon. His version of 'Angry Birds.'
Did you know that Audubon generally composed the birds, but left the backgrounds and flora to his assistants?  However, this print of the Pinnated Grous is the only one of Audubon's compositions where he accomplished all three elements himself, making this print a must for Audubon collectors.  Click the pic for detail.  Click here for more information.
