Description: CJANTIQUEPRINTS Description Condition: Excellent Original Book Plate PrintPrint Size: 12 x 9Print Style: LithographYear: 1941Artist: John J AudubonEach of these prints was meticulously removed from a disbound - damaged 80 year old book, Birds of America, 1941. These prints were reproduced from the original water-color paintings by artist John James Audubon. Each print measures 9" x 12". The illustrations are sharp and bright. Due to the natural aging process, the prints are age toned and some may have very small foxing marks or dots which adds to the patina of this era. These qualities are perfectly normal for prints of this type and age and add more character to the print. The paper is an off-white color, though it may appear brighter white due to the scanner. The paper is thick, slightly textured and without any sheen. They will look fabulous matted and framed or in a collage on that special wall. You can't beat this price. These prints are rare and highly sought after and they sell for much higher prices elsewhere on the internet and antique stores.I guarantee you that these are original prints, not reproductions or reprints and was taken from a book of that era. The prints will be shipped in a stiff envelope and an acid free plastic sleeve with card board supporting it.If there is a problem with your purchase, please contact me first if you have specific questions or problem about the condition of a particular print.John James Audubon's paintings and descriptions of the birds of North America remain the gold standard against which all ornithological portraits are judged. His landmark work, Birds of America (1838), consisted of 435 life-size prints that were published in batches of five over the course of thirteen years. Because the prints were extremely large and had to be hand-colored by a team of painters, the cost of creating the original sets was exorbitant. Today, complete copies are rare--the last to be sold commanded approximately $11.5 million in a December 2010 auction, making it the most expensive book ever. The exquisitely preserved, complete set of prints from which this slip-cased facsimile edition was created is part of the permanent collection of the Natural History Museum of London. The images were captured using state-of-the-art digital scanning techniques to preserve the intricate detail and vibrant colors of Audubon's original work. It's a stunning book--and a reminder to us of the importance of preserving these lovely creatures and their natural habitats. Payment/Shipping/Terms SHIPPING IS DONE THROUGH USPS, TUESDAY - FRIDAY.
