John
James Audubon - “Centennial Edition”
 The
“Centennial Edition” is only the third comprehensive
collection produced in 178 years since Audubon himself created
the original, “Birds of America.” Of notable significance
is that the “Centennial Edition” is the first edition
to be meticulously restored embracing the detail and brilliance
emerging as when they were first revealed to art patrons in 1827.
The “Centennial Edition” is created with extraordinary
care to every vital characteristic of the original masterpiece’s
coloration, image and paper size. More importantly, the new edition
is entirely conceived with archival processes and materials to
meet the most stringent requirements and carry a lifetime guarantee,
unlike the originals. This is a formidable quality to be valued,
affording not only years of viewing enjoyment, but prospective
appreciation.
The “Centennial Edition” is published
under the auspices of The National Audubon Society with each image
bearing their stately embossed logo thus bestowing a contribution
to their admirable cause. Subscribers to the “Centennial
Edition” can be assured these assets bring forth a realistic
collectable prominence and definitive quality of art. The “Centennial
Edition” is strictly limited to only two hundred of each
image worldwide.
