Princeton Full-size Edition
Limited editions of 450 to 1500
Medium: Direct-camera capture lithography
Said to be the finest of all Audubon folio-sized (Double Elephant) prints, Princetons were produced by purchasing the actual antique originals, and then capturing the entire image on oversize film. (direct-camera capture) The film was the same size as the print, thus no detail was lost in a one-to-one transfer to the mechanical printing plates.  More info.



Shown at right is the exquisite American Flamingo, which Audubon called 'The Old Male'.
This huge print measures 27 x 39.
Regularly sells for

Princeton NYHS Essex Edition
Limited editions of 1000 to 2500

A beautiful reduced-size edition produced from the originals at The New-York Historical Society. These stunning images are pressed into the finest paper made in America, Essex, which is produced in the nation's oldest continuously operated paper mill, Monadnock Mills, in New Hampshire.  The paper is coated, which causes the ink to "stand up" on the paper.  This is an excellent choice for those who do not have the space to display the larger double elephant prints. 

The stunning Great Blue Heron ($150).
17 1/2 x 26 inches.
(Shown here is the reduced-size print. A full-size print is coming soon!)



Yes!
We have fine art reproductions of the Osprey, Flamingo, White Pelican, Great Northern Diver, Brown Pelican, Red-shouldered Hawk, Blue Crane
     And the finest of today's giclee prints, The Long-billed Curlew!
     Purchase it for a limited time at the introductory price of $600!


Plus, what is arguably the finest Audubon print ever accomplished in any edition ...
The Princeton Audubon Pileated Woodpecker, produced by Master Printer and Audubon print collector, the late David O Johnson of Princeton, New Jersey.

Snowy HeronChris Lane, art appraiser on The Antiques Roadshow and owner of Philadelphia Print Shop ... "...of all the full-size facsimiles of Audubon's prints, those from Princeton Audubon Limited come the closest to the originals.  Princeton facsimiles are winners for those looking to acquire some of the most dramatic American natural history images ever produced."

Click to enlarge the picture at left of The Snowy Heron. Sure, its a beautiful print, and it is the world's only direct-camera folio lithograph of this impressive image.  But its the figure approaching from the lower right that is of interest.  Many say that this is Audubon himself.  True, Audubon inserted himself in a number of his oils, much like Hitchcock had cameo rolls in his own movies.  But this was not a practice regarding Audubon's engravings. Whatever the truth is, this stunning print brings us back to an earlier time in American history, with a Charleston area plantation in the background. View the entire print.

Rare Prints Double Elephant Edition
Limited editions of 1500
Medium: Giclee
There are many giclee editions on the market today, but The Rare Prints Edition is unique. Each print is an accurate document of an actual original.  The printing is exact and does not have an over saturation of ink, as many other giclee editions do. Further, they are reasonably priced. It is the only giclee edition which we are pleased to offer to our clients alongside our own double elephants.

The fish at right is having a really bad day. This print, the Osprey or Fish Hawk ($600), is one of Audubon's most popular compositions. Are you purchasing two prints to display side by side?  We suggest the powerful Princeton Red-shouldered Hawk alongside this impressive Osprey.

Princeton Special Edition
Limited edition of 1500
Medium: Giclee
(Currently our most popular print. Purchase it before our price increases.)

Princeton is well-known for its full-size folio prints.  Just as much artistry and care has gone into this new special edition giclee. By permission of the owner, Princeton has acquired the rights to reproduce an original Long-billed Curlew. Owned by a prominent Charleston SC family descended from signers of the Declaration, this is a rare image containing recognizable civilization. Measuring 26 x 38 3/4 inches on the finest paper, this will be the focal point of any room where it is displayed. More info.

Imperial Quadruped Originals
Over 70 to choose from!

Toward the end of his life, Audubon endeavored to depict all the known species of North American mammals. These were published in three sets by J. Bowen between 1845 and 1848. Known in the trade as the Imperials, his detailed images measured 22 x 28 inches untrimmed.

 

Shown here is The Mink. ($3,900)

Audubon Bien Originals
In 1860, Audubon's younger son, John Woodhouse Audubon, reissued the Birds of America, using Julius Bien for the lithography. Unlike the Havells which used copperplates,  these rarer Audubons used the emerging field of chromolithography. The Civil War put an end to this beautiful project - the last of Audubon's originals. We have a fine selection of these rare prints.  Only about 100 of each image were produced. The Glossy Ibis at right sells for $8,750.

Octavo Birds of America Originals
Produced between 1840 through 1871, these are the most collected of all of Audubon's originals.  He called them his "Birds in miniature" and made his fortune with their distribution.  The first edition was completed in 1844. Octavo editions were reductions of the Havell originals, this being accomplished through the camera Lucida process. Measuring about 7 x 10 inches, we offer a fine selection of these originals to collectors.
