The Original Watercolor Paintings by John James Audubon for the Birds of America
American Heritage publishing, 1966. Published in conjunction with the New York Historical Society.
Two magnificent volumes containing full-page (and several double-page) plates of all 431 watercolors submitted by Audubon to the printers. Fine in brown cloth.
Two Folio volumes, marbled slipcase (next to regular sized hardback for comparison). First edition. Not a lot of these about, apparently. The fact that I got mine for $35 is a Steal, and well below market value: perk of working in a good used bookstore that doesn't chase every last nickel, and has a generous employee discount.
Score. ;)
