Princeton Audubon Limited Edition Prints
(approximately 26″ x 39″)

The Princeton Audubon Edition is widely considered to be the finest limited edition of Audubon’s work available. Printed on the highest-quality archival paper, these prints are masterful renderings of Audubon’s work. Each print is true to the original “Double Elephant” life-size of Audubon’s great work “The Birds of America.” Utilizing a printing process called “direct transfer”, Princeton Publishing was able to capture the colors with true fidelity to the original engravings – using a massive camera with film as large as the original prints. Up to eleven color printing-press plates were used to apply the color to each print. As seen in the New York Times, these limited edition Audubon prints are incredibly vibrant and detailed, and will certainly add beauty to your home and office.
“Of all the full-size facsimiles of Audubon’s prints, those from Princeton Audubon come the closest in appearance and quality to the originals. Combining this with their very reasonable cost makes Princeton Audubon facsimiles winners for those looking to acquire some of the most dramatic American natural history images ever produced.” – Chris Lane, appraiser on Antiques Roadshow.
