We are sold out of Audubon folio bird restrikes at this time. You may still enjoy looking at the information and photos of the restrikes we’ve had in the past. If you are interested in obtaining a restrike, please get in touch. I would be happy to find one that fits your needs and budget, whether colored or uncolored.
The term “restrike” refers exclusively to prints made at a later time from the original hand-made printing matrix as part of a separate publication event. It is distinguishable from a later edition in that later editions generally involve an overlap of personnel or publisher and are less separated in time. In the case of Audubon’s birds, several restrikes have been published and distributed in the 20th and 21st century. Although the great majority of Havell plates were destroyed, 78 are known to have survived and a few have been used for restrike projects. There are no known Bien or octavo restrikes since these original stones were all destroyed in a warehouse fire around 1870. On this page, Minniesland.com offers a few of these rare prints for sale.
