Unlike any other Audubon edition in the world, Princeton purchased the actual originals, physically utilizing them in creating absolutely accurate Double Elephant or same size documents. Princetons were produced by the late David Johnson, a Master Printer and collector of Audubon originals who owned the paramount printing company in the country - Princeton Polychrome Press.  This company, now sold, achieved an enviable nationwide reputation by reproducing fine art prints for the National Gallery of Art, National Portrait Gallery, Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Whitney Museum of American Art, and The Detroit Institute of Arts. Using the direct-camera technique that he pioneered, along with oversized Kodak film with its infinite retention of detail, he produced what Audubon author Bill Steiner calls, "... simply the finest Audubon facsimiles ever produced."

"...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."

Princetons are the world's only full-size Audubon re-creations produced through a direct camera capture of detail, the absolute highest standard.  Actual original Audubon prints were purchased, generally from Sotheby's, and then physically utilized in producing these spectacular prints, making Princetons actual documents of the antique originals, having a physical connection to those done by Audubon's own hand.  Princeton folio size prints measure 26 1/4 x 39 1/4 inches, which is the actual trim size of the existing double elephants, this being the most common measurement after binding holes on the originals were trimmed away.  Printed on heavy Mohawk paper that is recommended by the Library of Congress for archives, the paper is specially toned to match the average paper color of the 180-year-old antique originals. Each print is accompanied with a corresponding Certificate of Authenticity showing the embossed seal of Princeton Audubon Limited, and the edition number.  Unless otherwise requested by the purchaser, each print itself is also embossed with the Princeton seal in the lower right, and pencil-numbered in the lower left with the edition number, denoting its limited edition. These are the real deal in Audubon fine art.
