Audubon double elephant prints are large Audubon prints measuring more than two feet by three feet with birds in the foreground portrayed life-size. "Double elephant" is an English term denoting this extra-large size. Being facsimiles, they are the same size as Audubon's originals. The Audubon fine art prints offered here are from the Princeton Edition - the world's only direct camera edition - and the Rare Prints and Princeton giclee fine art editions. So, bring the outdoors indoors with exceptional Audubon fine art, reviewed as the finest ever produced.

Princeton Audubon Double Elephant Edition, 27 1/4 x 39 1/4 This portrait was based on a composition probably painted in 1829 on the East coast. Audubon gave these birds one of the only nocturnal settings found in The Birds of America. He used pencil to portray the owl's soft, downy feathers.

Gyrfalcon

"The woods are the habitation best fitted for them, and there the richness of their plumage, their beautiful mode of flight, and even their screams, afford welcome intimation that our darkest forests and most sequestered swamps are not destitute of charms." So wrote John James Audubon about the stunning Carolina Parrot.

American Flamingo

In the early spring of 1832, Audubon and his assistant George Lehman stayed at the home of John Bachman in Charleston, South Carolina. Audubon wrote of the thousands of snowy egrets that had arrived there by March 25 and “were seen in the marshes and rice fields, all in full plumage.” Soon he painted this magnificent egret, while Lehman added the landscape of a rice plantation in the Carolina low country.

Snowy Egret

These birds were probably painted in Louisiana c. 1825. Hummingbirds, found only in the New World, fascinated Americans and Europeans of Audubon's day. To gratify this widespread curiosity with a number of views of the diminutive ruby-throat, he placed ten of them together, although in nature they are too pugnacious to associate this closely.

Ruby-throated Hummingbird

Osprey or Fish Hawk

Audubon studied the habits of the pair of hawks represented here over a period of three years, and this devotion resulted in one of the finest works he did in Louisiana before sailing to Liverpool in 1826. "The mutual attachment of the male and the female continues during life," Audubon wrote. "They usually hunt in pairs during the whole year; and although they built a new nest every spring, they are fond of resorting to the same parts of the woods for that purpose."

Red-shouldered Hawk

Pileated Woodpecker

Probably painted about 1825 in Louisiana. The pair of birds at bottom was apparently done first, since the limb on which the topmost bird sits is not connected to the branch on which its mate is perched. In this painting Audubon attempted, as he wrote, to give "a faithful representation of two as gentle pairs of Turtles [doves] as ever cooed their loves in the green woods."
