Amsterdam Edition Prints

In recognition of the importance and beauty of the first edition of Audubon's Birds of America, a second edition was published in Amsterdam during the years 1971 through 1973 by the Johnson Reprint Company of New York. The entire project was supervised by an international panel of noted ornithological as well as Audubon experts. Such high standards of craftsmanship were maintained that every detail of Audubon's original plates was reproduced.

The original double-elephant format was used: this size maintained Audubon's depiction of the birds in their natural life-size. The Amsterdam Edition contains all four-hundred and thirty-five elephant folio lithographs in full color on 100% cotton rag paper, which is watermarked: G SHUT & ZONEN. The series was issued in a modest edition of two-hundred and fifty sets worldwide and approximately fifty to sixty of them were bound into four volumes.
