Back to Princeton Audubon Prints Home Page
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.
![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."](http://princetonaudubonprints.com/cdn/shop/products/AudubonprintCarolinaTurtlrdove_ad6ab151-02e0-4310-90ad-035b45e056dc.jpg?v=1604018222&width=1445)
