Description of Item

Own this beautifully framed John James Audubon's Birds of America Amsterdam Edition of the Violet-green Cormorant. The Texas pecan frame is constructed using traditional pinned mortise and tenon joinery and finished with a non-toxic and environmentally friendly finish.

Print donated by F. Carrington Weems. Framing by Luke Kuebler and Speedy Picture Framing.

Stated in the Price Guide for the Audubon (1971-72) Amsterdam Edition of John James Audubon's Birds of America by Ron Flynn: The 1971-72 publishing of the Audubon Amsterdam Edition was the first complete full size facsimile reproduction of John James Audubon's original (1826-38) Havell Edition of Birds of America. The Amsterdam Edition reproduced all 435 original plates on full double-elephant folio sized paper. The edition was limited to 250 copies of each of the original 435 plates. Approximately 50-75 of the Amsterdam Edition sets were bound into four book volumes. The remainder of the issue was sold as loose sheets. The sheets themselves measure about 26-1/2" x 39-1/2".
