We have a wide range of original Audubon Prints available. These prints come from the Havell, Bien, and Royal Octavo edition Birds of America, along with our remarkable Oppenheimer Editions prints.

John James Audubon’s Birds of America is a highly influential work of American art and ornithological study. The Audubon prints feature detailed illustrations of North American bird species in their natural habitats, portrayed at life-size. Audubon spent two decades on this project, exploring the wilderness of America, gathering specimens, sketching birds, and meticulously documenting his observations.

Audubon’s illustrations are known for their remarkable detail and ability to capture the unique characteristics of each species. To ensure accuracy, he used various methods such as extensive field observation and referencing taxidermy specimens. He also developed a technique of wiring freshly-caught birds to a gridded board, allowing him to position them realistically and depict them with precision in terms of scale, color, and movement.
