Double Elephants
The Princeton Double Elephant Edition and Rare Prints Edition offered here represent two exceptional ways to enjoy the artistry of John James Audubon without the cost of an original Havell engraving. The Princeton Double Elephant Edition is the world's only direct camera edition and consists of museum-quality, limited-edition lithographs printed in Audubon’s original monumental format of approximately 26" x 39", produced using a direct-transfer lithographic process from actual original prints to achieve remarkable fidelity in color, detail, and overall appearance. The modern Rare Prints Edition offers a fine-art giclée presentation of Audubon’s most beloved images, printed with archival inks on heavyweight Somerset Velvet paper, also in limited editions of 1,500. Together, these editions provide collectors, decorators, and bird enthusiasts with faithful, museum-quality reproductions that capture the drama, beauty, and life-size impact of Audubon’s celebrated Birds of America, making some of the finest natural history artwork ever created accessible for display in homes, offices, and collections.
“With their astounding detail, definition, and color, the Princeton direct-camera facsimiles have long set the standard in Audubon Birds of America lithographs." - Louise Mirrer, The New-York Historical Society.
