site
Welcome to minniesland.com. We're glad you're here. Unfortunately, you've missed the
Audubons. The family's been gone now for 140 years, and they're not expected back. But you are invited to explore our virtual estate, named for
the beautiful home where members of the Audubon Family lived for twenty years.
Please show yourself around the house and grounds. Some things you may enjoy include
|
THE PRINT ROOM
|
Here you'll find pictures of many of our prints. While visiting, be sure to check our complete stock list
for each edition to see if any of your favorites are for sale.
|
|
THE STUDY
|
If you're new to Audubon or print collecting, you may enjoy a visit to the
study. There you can review detailed information on the characteristics
of original Audubon prints, plus learn some of the history of each of the major Audubon
editions and the people involved in their creation.

THE CURIO
CABINET
|
Perhaps you enjoy collecting decorative china plates. The curio cabinet houses a large selection of Meakin, Adams, Royal Worcester,
Hutschenreuther, and other Birds of America plates. We also have additional collectibles, some rare
or one-of-a-kind, decorated with Audubon motifs.
|
THE
LOUNGE
|
The lounge is a place for discussion and learning. We hope to post information about the lives of the Audubons and their important collaborators. We will also provide links to
our favorite Audubon websites. Visitors to the lounge are encouraged to get in touch with us to share their observations about Audubon and his art, suggest websites of general interest, or make other contributions.

|
THE ATTIC
|
The attic is a bit musty, but it's worth a visit if you need information on a specific
item you own, or you are interested in selling us something (whether prints, books or
china). Here we provide detailed information on our buying needs, guidance for authenticating prints similar to the ones we sell, and a
general discussion of the value of Audubon facsimiles and reproductions.
Print at left is a hand-colored lithographic reproduction
(circa 1930s-40s) of the Havell Edition print of the Blue
Jay. It's value is purely decorative.
