Overview
This dazzling, large-format hardback presents John James Audubon's classic Birds of America in a brand new collector's edition, boldly presented in full-color with gold blocking and printed page edges.
Naturalist and painter John James Audubon published his magnificent work on the birds of North America over 11 years between 1827 and 1838, in Edinburgh and London. Today, it is considered one of the best-known natural history books ever produced and a benchmark of drawing skills for natural painters.

The set of plates is accompanied by a full index of the birds, including the name given by Audubon, their modern name and scientific name.
