The Abbeville Press edition (1985) of the Common American Swan (Plate 411) facsimile is a world-class reproduction of John James Audubon’s masterpiece, matching the exact Double Elephant Folio scale of the 1830s original artwork.
Taken from The Birds of America book by John James Audubon. The massive dimensions of 39.5x26.5 allow the Common American Swan to be viewed at its actual, true-to-life size.
The "Foraging Grace" because the swan is a massive waterfowl, Audubon forced it into a dramatic posture, bending its elegant neck low over the water to feed on yellow water-lilies so its entire body could fit onto the paper without shrinking the scale.
1985 Abbeville Quality: This specific edition is highly prized by collectors. It was printed via high-fidelity color lithography on heavy, archival, acid-free paper, perfectly capturing the bright white plumage, vibrant yellow water-lilies, and fine line work of the original hand-colored aquatint engraving.
Description: An unframed facsimile of plate number 411.
