The Field Museum in Chicago produced this edition in partnership with Oppenheimer Editions using the museum’s superb copy of the Imperial Folio edition of Audubon’s animals. Full-sized reproductions were produced using Giclée digital printing. The end result is a near-perfect reproduction of each original with exquisite detail and color. The edition is strictly limited to 300 copies overall, with 150 copies reserved to be sold in sets of fifty plates and 150 copies available as individual prints. The prints measure 28 inches x 22 inches and were made on Somerset velvet, an archival cotton rag watercolor paper imported from England. The bottom right corner of each print bears the Oppenheimer Editions embossed stamp while the verso is stamped, numbered and signed by The Field Museum Librarian. Below is a list of images. Prices range from $400 to $1200. Contact me for a photo and current pricing for the print of your choice.
