regarding Princeton double elephants, "They are true
prints - great paper, incredible detail and true colors. Simply
the finest Audubon facsimiles ever made!"
"...the quality of the
reproductions reflects precisely the extraordinary state of the art
craftsmanship Princeton Polychrome Press has consistently engendered
since its inception." Theodore S. Amussen, Former
director of publications and editor-in-chief, National Gallery of Art,
Washington, D.C. (Editor's note: Princeton Polychrome
Press is the predecessor to Princeton Audubon Limited)
Chris Lane, owner of Philadelphia Print Shop and guest appraiser on PBS
Antiques Roadshow wrote, "Of all the Audubon reproductions, Princetons come the closest in appearance and
quality to the originals."
"With their astounding detail, definition, and color, the
Princeton direct-camera facsimiles have long set the standard in Audubon
Birds of America lithographs."
-Louise Mirrer, current Director, The New-York Historical Society
Princeton Audubons
stand above all other modern offset facsimile reproductions. The colors
are bright, fresh and natural looking, and the amount of detail seen in
the images is extraordinary. - Audubon expert Ron Flynn
"The
Princeton Collection reproductions of Audubon's birds offer an
incredible value. The quality of color, definition and paper are
fantastic and far beyond expectations."-
Rare-Prints.com Gallery
owner Ben Frishman
"The brilliant art
prints in this rare limited edition collection are artistic triumphs of
exceptional quality and beauty"
James Bell, past director
New-York Historical Society, New York City
"The Princeton Collection represents a
remarkable example of historic accuracy and beauty. No other
modern Audubon edition gives collectors the quality and value of the
Princeton edition. Audubon himself would no doubt be impressed by the
superior workmanship in each print." - Glen Mullen,
former Gallery Manager, Key West
Audubon Gallery.
Far beyond common reproductions,
the historic Princeton Audubon Double Elephant Prints are the world's only first-generation facsimile re-creations of the actual antique
Audubon/Havell etchings, and as you can see from the comments above, are viewed as the finest and most
accurate Audubon reproductions ever accomplished. The fundamental reason is as
follows... Princeton reproduced the original antique art, not photographs of
original art as others have, such as the fine Abbevilles and Amsterdams. We purchased the actual originals
and brought them to our printing plant for direct transfer to fine art
paper. - Princeton Audubon
