THE BIRDS OF AMERICA: THE BIEN CHROMOLITHOGRAPHIC EDITION

A never-before-published edition of the rare chromolithographic Audubon prints of American birds.

John James Audubon is arguably America’s most widely recognized and collected artist. His Birds of America has been reproduced often, beginning with the double elephant folio printed by Havill in England, followed by a much smaller “Octavo” edition printed in Philadelphia and sold by subscription.

After Audubon’s death, his family arranged with the New York printer Julius Bien to produce another elephant folio edition, this time, using the new chromolithographic process.
It, too, would be sold by subscription, but the venture, begun in 1858, was abruptly ended by the Civil War. Only 150 plates were produced, and the number remaining today is slight; they are among the rarest and most sought-after Audubon prints.

Bound in cloth with a full cloth slipcase, this large-scale, beautifully produced, collector’s edition book is the first complete reproduction of Bien's chromolithographs and will become the centerpiece of any bird lover’s library.
  • 256 pages
  • Hardcover with hard slipcase
  • Dimensions: 15.3" x 2.5" x 23.3"
  • 150 color illustrations
