This Baby Elephant Folio presents all 435 of John James Audubon’s brilliant hand-colored birds in immaculate reproductions from the original plates of the imagery. Many attempts have been made to re-create the gorgeous illustrations in Audubon’s masterpiece but nothing has come close to this luxurious edition.
A new arrangement of the prints follows the modern classification of species. The descriptive captions about each bird allow us to appreciate Audubon's achievement in the light of modern ornithology.
