Collection of 4 Vintage 1966 John James Audubon Double-Sided Bird Prints
A remarkable collection of four double-sided vintage bird prints after John James Audubon, featuring eight beautifully detailed compositions from his monumental masterwork, The Birds of America. Published as part of a 1966 edition, these richly colored reproductions capture the extraordinary detail, botanical beauty and naturalistic character of Audubon’s original hand-colored engravings.
The collection brings together delicate songbirds, jewel-toned hummingbirds and dramatic woodland species. Highlights include the brilliant crimson plumage of the Purple Finch, the vivid golden coloring of the Prothonotary Warbler, Mangrove Hummingbirds hovering among trumpet flowers and the commanding Great American Hen surrounded by her young. Collectively, the prints offer a sophisticated palette of emerald green, ruby red, golden yellow, coral, ivory, charcoal, soft gray and warm earth tones.
Each page is printed on both sides, providing eight different Audubon images across four individual sheets. The buyer may select which side of each page to showcase, creating a coordinated grouping of four framed works. They could also be displayed in double-sided glass frames, allowing both sides to be appreciated.
Each sheet measures approximately 8.5 inches wide by 12.75 inches high. There is ample blank space at the top and bottom of the compositions, allowing the pages to be carefully trimmed, if desired, to accommodate slightly shorter or standard-size frames without interfering with the primary artwork.
These true showstoppers would create an impressive gallery wall in a living room, library, study, dining room, entryway, bedroom or garden room. Their timeless natural-history imagery and lush botanical details work effortlessly across traditional, English country, grandmillennial, cottagecore, rustic, coastal and contemporary interiors.

• American Golden-crested Wren / Purple Grackle
