Reproductions

When I first began collecting Audubon’s work in the 1990s, the available information on the animal folios — originals, restrikes, or reproductions — was minimal. Although one group of limited-edition reproductions — the Southart-Parkway facsimile prints — was fairly well documented, there was no information about full-size reproductions from other publishers, and most dealers would tell you that they didn’t exist. Turns out that there were a least a few other facsimiles done in the 20th century, including a print by the Boston Athenaeum of PL 116 American Black or Silver Fox (circa 1970s) and a couple of squirrel folio prints (and perhaps others) by Sidney Z. Lucas.

I sell three different types of facsimiles of Imperial Folio animals:

Small but growing selection of state-of-the-art digital prints made from superb originals.

These classic offset lithographs were published in 1980s and were limited to 750 copies of each of 12 plates, and include six popular Texas animals plus six animals primarily found in eastern states.

This Giclée series, produced in the 1990s, greatly expanded options for those who wanted a copy of a specific folio print, and could not afford an original.
