Item Description
In 1985, to commemorate the two-hundredth birthday of John James Audubon, the National Audubon Society worked with Abbeville Press to publish a complete facsimile reproduction of Audubon's Birds of America. This edition, known as the Abbeville Edition, consisted of 350 sets of facsimile reproductions of all 435 Audubon Havell originals. The 435 different prints were bound into four volumes for about 300 of the 350 sets, and the remaining prints were sold as loose sets.
This Black Guillemot print is Plate 219 from the Abbeville Edition, and includes a Certificate of Authenticity from Haley & Steele of Newbury Street in Boston. It depicts the adult Guillemot in both its summer and winter plummage, and a Guillemot chick.
This print measures 39 1/2" by 26 1/2", double-elephant folio. The paper is a coated 100% acid free cover stock paper manufactured by Mohawk Paper Co. in New York State, and is a creamy white color. The paper is somewhat smooth (not glossy) and does not have the texture or feel of 100% cotton rag paper. It is in excellent condition, laid flat against a solid backing piece, inside a protective sleeve.
