Description
Audubon Bird Print - "Brown Pelican", 1964 Abrams Folio - Vintage Ornithology Art
1964 print from "The Audubon Folio: Great Bird Paintings," a faithful fine-art reproduction of John James Audubon's original watercolor bird study from "Birds of America." This unframed, unmounted print measures approximately 17" x 14" and is printed in rich full color on substantial, slightly sepia-toned paper with a beautiful vintage feel.
A true vintage, licensed, large-format, photo-offset, lithographic reproduction published in 1964 by the renowned art book publisher Harry N. Abrams in New York as part of a portfolio set of full-color reproductions from Audubon's "Birds of America". This is a true vintage print from the 1964 folio (not a modern reprint).
The image is crisp, clean, and bright, capturing all of Audubon's wonderful detail. There are many other prints from the original Folios for sale separately in my shop. They would look stunning framed and displayed as a grouping. They are each in very nice vintage condition overall, with very minor wear for 60+ year-old prints. There is some gorgeous vintage sepia toning, which makes these the perfect vintage grouping.
This listing is for one "Brown Pelican" lithograph.
Condition:
Alterations: Original Condition Unaltered
Imperfections: Some Imperfections
Condition Notes: Very nice vintage condition overall, with very minor wear for a 60+ year-old print. Most wear is in the corners and along the edges, which would be unnoticeable once framed. There is gorgeous vintage sepia toning and minimal foxing. The print is unframed (never been framed) and unmounted; it will ship flat, not rolled.
