Background information:
In his monumental masterpiece, the Double Elephant Folio Edition of the Birds of America, published in the period 1827-1838, the naturalist John James Audubon published 435 drawings of the birds he drew based on his observations in nature. These images were published as hand-colored engravings with aquatint and etching by Robert Havell, Jr. in England. In 1971, the Johnson Reprint Corporation in New York and the Amsterdam firm Theatrum Orbis Terrarum Ltd decided to produce as fine a facsimile of this masterpiece as possible. In 1971 and 1972, these two firms published only 250 copies of the complete 435 plates of the original Robert Havell's copy of the Double Elephant Folio using color photolithography (these prints thus show the characteristic dot matrix pattern of offset lithography when examined with a 10x or 15x magnifying glass). Known as the Amsterdam Edition of the Double Elephant folio, these prints are the first complete facsimile of Audubon's original monumental work. In order to reproduce the texture of the original J Whatman paper used in the original Havell edition, the Amsterdam edition used the renowned paper company G. Schut & Zonen to produce special museum quality 100% cotton rag paper for printing these plates. Only a limited set of 250 copies of each of the plates were produced. The Amsterdam edition prints can be identified by the unique watermark "G. Schut & Zonen (R) Audubon".
