Audubon octavo prints are hand-colored stone lithographs taken from one of the octavo-sized editions of Audubon's work.   The octavo editions of The Quadrupeds of North America were produced by Audubon's sons, John Woodhouse Audubon (who was the artist responsible for about half the plates in this series) and Victor Gifford Audubon (who provided many of the beautiful backgrounds).  Most prints shown on this page are from an 1856 volume (unless otherwise noted).  Also available are a few first edition prints we bought as singles from trusted sources.  Click on plates listed in red to see the scan.  Be sure to scroll all the way down the page to see all prints.

Feel free to contact us  for detailed condition information and for scans of prints not pictured.
