Audubon Art Prints: A Collector's Guide to Every Edition Details
This work offers buyers, sellers, and collectors an easy-to-use, one-volume source of information for these bird and quadruped prints of John James Audubon. It contains obscure references, where the author, Bill Steiner, has surveyed the contemporary market-place. Addressing one of the more complex aspects of print collection, the text clarifies the task of distinguishing the octavio prints of the successive editions of Audubon's Birds of America (1840-1871) and Quadrupeds of North America (1849-1870). It describes the publication histories of each edition since the first, offers information about printers, engravers, and subscribers, and provides practical information on price histories, accessibility, and preservation.
Reviews
We began collecting Audubon prints recently. This reference has lots of great information about determining authenticity, the details of various editions, values, and general historical information about Audubon. We bought it as a reference and find ourselves reading it cover to cover.
