Fine Art Re-creations of The Imperial Quadrupeds 21 x
28
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. We have produced same size facsimiles of these engravings, using
the fine originals from the Princeton University collection. These
reproductions, as with our Birds of America reproductions, are direct-camera
prints. They represent the first successful attempt to reproduce directly
from the actual antique originals, instead of reproducing a mere photograph
of an original.
The 100% rag, acid-free Somerset archival paper is imported
from England, and has the tone and texture of the originals.
