1966réf. 250699New York & Boston: American Heritage Publishing 1966. First edition. Hardcover. Fine/issued without dj. Audubon. 4tos blue cloth in a blue publisher's slipcase with yellow ribbon possibly a bit shorter than as published spines somewhat faded uniformly Reproduces -for the first time in full color -virtually all of the original paintings -- not the engravings of the published work. The accuracy made possible by modern photographic and printing techniques makes this in incomparable production. Audubon's original paintings differ markedly from the final engraver's products. This work can be studied side-by-side with the collection of prints to appreciate the substantial advances Audubon made beyond the accepted standards in bird art yielding a fresh view of his achievement.

1776réf. 032975London: Printed for B White 1776 A fair copy complete with 50 hand coloured plates in contemporary binding which has been rebacked preserving the original spine.

The binding has a relaid decorative spine with 5 raised bands and gilt compartments - the title is in the second compartment. Boards are marbled. There is scuffing and wear at the board edges surfaces and corners. All page edges gilted. New endpapers. Contents are complete with text in french and english on alternate pages and 50 hand coloured plates. Text 134 pp with 2 pp of index. Contents are generally clean with the odd mark or spot. There is long stain in the gutter of p 69 where an old sticky tape repair has been removed and the original tear professionally repaired. The stain is also lightly visible on the following 2 text pages. Plate 2 has professional repair in the gutter; Plate 36 has a professional repair and has a very small tear at the bottom edge. There is a small nick from the top page edge of Plate 23 and a small edge tear at the top of p 95. There is a small mark at the foredge from pp 110 to 129.
