Birds of America Double-elephant folio Editions
Viviparous Quadruped Imperial Folio Editions
Audubon’s 2nd Edition of The Birds of America plates are masterfully recreated as modern fine art prints! All presented in full double-elephant folio size, the Bien Oppenheimer Edition of the Birds of America stands alone as the most impressive modern presentation of the original chromolithographs.
The Bien edition of The Birds of America was initiated by Audubon’s two sons, John Woodhouse and Victor Gifford, several years after his death. Collaborating with New York-based lithographer Julius Bien, they carried on Audubon’s legacy by producing his historic folio through the pioneering medium of chromolithography. In a similar manner to its Havell edition predecessor, the Bien edition was sold by subscription, beginning in 1858. However, production was brought to a halt by the advent of the Civil War and only 150 plates on 105 sheets were completed. The consensus is that fewer than seventy folios were ever completed, making the Bien edition the rarest of Audubon’s folios.
