The book is reorganised and annotated by Roger Tory Peterson.This marvelous edition of Audubon's Birds of America displays all 435 of Audubon's brilliant handcolored engravings in exquisite reproductions taken from the original plates of the Audubon Society's archival copy of the rare Double Elephant Folio. Although many attempts have been made to re-create the magnificent illustrations in Audubon's masterpiece, nothing equals the level of fidelity or scale achieved in this high-quality edition.Organized and annotated by Roger Tory Peterson, AmericaG's best-known ornithologist, and issued with the full endorsement and cooperation of the Audubon Society, this magnificent volume is as thorough in scientific classification as it is beautiful. Peterson's fascinating introduction places Audubon in the context of the history of American ornithological art and also reproduces a wide sampling of the work of Audubon's notable predecessors and disciples, including Peterson's own justly famous paintings. This new systematic arrangement of the prints, complete with informative commentaries about each bird, made it possible to correct many of the problems or errors in Audubon's original edition revealed by later scholarship. The colorful captions in the back provide fascinating commentaries on each featured bird.Product IdentifiersISBN-101558591281ISBN-139781558591288eBay Product ID (ePID)1177523Key DetailsAuthorJohn James Audubon, Virginia Marie PetersonNumber Of Pages694 pagesEdition DescriptionReprintFormatHardcoverPublication Date2003-07-30LanguageEnglishPublisherAbbeville Press, IncorporatedPublication Year2003Additional DetailsCopyright Date2003IllustratedYesDimensionsWeight287.8 OzHeight3 In.Width12.8 In.Length16.9 In.Target AudienceGroupTradeClassification MethodLCCN90-031607LC Classification NumberQL681.A97 1991Dewey Decimal598.0/973Dewey Edition21ContributorsEdited byRoger Tory Peterson Institute Staff
