 the open season, April 1, is the best time for 

 shooting. The hotel accommodations are excel-

AUDUBON'S 



Birds of America 



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 1858, and represent the birds as life size. The sheets 

 are elephant folio, and the paper heavy. The drawings were made from nature, and for accuracy 

 of delineation, fidelity to detail and accessories, 



Audubon's Birds have never been equalled. 



Any of these plates if framed would malce 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 plates are double and can if desired be cut in 

 two and put m small frames. 



There are represented many species of Ducks, GuUs, Grouse, Snipe, Heron and small birds 

 almost without number. 



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

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