Enjoy this authentic and beautifully rare John James Audubon Bien Edition print of the Pileated Woodpecker. "It would be difficult for me to say in what part of our extensive country I have not met with this hardy inhabitant of the forest." wrote John James Audubon about Plate 111 titled Pileated Woodpecker.

Produced between 1858 and 1860, the Bien edition of John James Audubon’s "The Birds of America" is the largest and most valuable color plate book ever published in America, and the rarest of all John James Audubon folios. Also on sheets measuring 26 1/2 by 39 inches, called double-elephant, this edition of the Pileated Woodpecker represents one of the finest examples of early large-scale color printing. The new technique of chromolithography was perceived as an advancement in printmaking technology that promised to achieve effects entirely different from engraving.

This print is accompanied by a recent appraisal allowing the buyer to be confident not only of authenticity but value.
