John James Audubon Octavo Prints (12 miniature prints) -

Add these 12 beautiful John James Audubon Octavo Prints to your collection: 

  1. Long-billed Curlew
  2. Common Gannet
  3. Great Marbled Godwit
  4. Comon Cow-bird 5.
  5. Red-breasted Snipe
  6. Wilsons Phalarope
  7. Aquatic Wood-Wagtail
  8. Red-breasted Woodpecker
  9. Least Pewee Flycatcher
  10. Canadian Woodpecker
  11. Harris's Woodpecker
  12. Common Snow-Bird

After the production of the double elephant prints, John James Audubon decided to begin a miniature edition of the Birds of America. This work is often termed The Royal Octavo Edition, the octavo referring to the size of the paper being about 1/8 the size of a normal folio, or about 6 1/2 x 10 1/2inches. Audubon himself called it "The Birds in Miniature" and you will also hear it simply being termed the 'miniatures'. It was produced in Philadelphia, USA, by John T. Bowen. Octavo editions were reductions of originals, this being accomplished through the camera lucida process, which through the use of a prism, allowed Bowen to project a reverse image of the original print in reduced size onto the smaller stone. (These were stone lithographs, not copper plate engravings)
