Welcome, and thank you for visiting Princeton Audubon Limited, and for making us your choice in Audubon fine art! All Princeton prints offered on this website are investment quality, museum grade prints.  Princetons are neither posters nor high-priced computer generated ink-jet giclee editions which are even now losing their value. Princetons were uniquely produced by first purchasing the actual antique originals, and then transferring all their detail and color through the rollers of a press to the highest-quality paper.  There are simply no other prints like Princetons, each being a fine art document of an actual original, right down to the tips of the feathers! Princeton has reproduced fine art prints for The National Gallery of Art, The National Portrait Gallery, The Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Whitney Museum of American Art, The Detroit Institute of Arts, and many more where art critical reproductions were needed. Produced between 1985 and 1993 with a production cost over 1 million dollars, and rarely marketed until 2002, Princetons are nearly sold out. Princeton double elephants, the world's only direct-camera Audubon facsimiles, are sold unframed and shipped the next day. Thank you for your visit!

GOT AN EYE FOR AUDUBON FINE ART?

Historical note: Since Audubon portrayed each bird life size, the larger birds often had to be drawn in unusual positions to fit on the largest copper engraving plates then available, approximately 27 x 39 inches. When setting forth on his great project, Audubon wrote ... "...nothing, after all, could ever answer my enthusiastic desires to represent nature, except to copy her in her own way, alive and moving!"  This is the great appeal of Audubon prints.  John James Audubon's compositions are filled with the drama of life, or as he himself put it ..."alive and moving!"  They are also the same size as life. 

FEATHER your nest!

The Old Male - the one on the right - also called the American Flamingo, but actually taken from the shores of Cuba.

Right: Audubon saw several flocks of American flamingos in the Florida Keys in 1832, and while anxious to obtain a specimen from which to make a painting, he was never able to shoot one.  During a stay in London, he wrote repeatedly to his friend John Bachman, in Charleston, South Carolina, asking for a specimen.  In a letter dated October 31, 1837, he said:  “As to flamingos their Eggs &c I fear this is up for me; and this proves to me now that I was a great fool not to have gone to Cuba, or sent a person there expressly….”

Fortunately, it wasn’t “up” for him after all.  He finally obtained specimens from Cuba and made the drawing for this Havell plate in London in 1838.

The flamingo’s highly specialized manner of feeding is as noteworthy as its dramatic coloring.  The bird plunges its head underwater upside down, then with the upper bill of its sickle-shaped beak serving as a dredge and the tongue as a sieve, it scoops small shellfish from the bottom of shallow lagoons.
