We have obtained and now offer for sale singly a number of the plates of this magnificent work. 

 These plates are the originals of the edition of 1856, and represent the birds as Ufe size. The sheets 

 are elephant f oho, and the paper hea\-y. The drawings were made from nature, and for accuracy 

 of deuneation, fldehty to detail and accessories, 



Audubon's Birds have never been equalled. 



Any of these plates if framed would make a 



For a sportsman's dining room, and no more beautiful and appropriate gift could be found for the 

 lover of nature than one of these. The constantly increasing scarcity of this work makes these 

 large plates each year more valuable. Some of the platos are double and can if desired be cut in 

 two and put m small frames. 



There are represented many species cf Ducks, Gulls, Grouse, Snipe, Heron and smaU birds 

 almost without number. oiua.ia. uxxyia 



These plates are so large that they cannot be sent by mail without danger of being crushed and 

 the best method of sendmg them will be on rollers by express.
