A unique but very limited offer: The American White Pelican - 000/500  (Proof copies)

As you may know, our White Pelican is an edition of 500 prints, and is said to be the finest Audubon re-creation ever accomplished.  This stately image, at this writing, is just a few numbers away from being sold out.  We have a few proof copies in mint condition from our archives that we will now make available to our clients at $400 each. Please note: We do not expect these unnumbered prints to increase in value, since they are not numbered as a sequential part of the edition of 500.  They will be simply be pencil marked in the lower-left corner 000/500.  So if you are not purchasing a Princeton print as an investment, but rather for the sheer wall presence and beauty, then this is the print for you.

This heron offered here is a first edition, the most sought-after grouping of Audubon's octavo prints.

Think OUTSIDE the nest!

Audubon is not just birds!

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 re-create 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.

The Grey Fox you see here is priced at $300.
