Amsterdam Edition
1971 - 1973
In
1972 a special limited edition of 250 numbered, complete folios of the
original 435 plates was printed in the Netherlands at Amsterdam. They were
sold by subscription in complete sets only; subscribers could choose to
receive the prints bound or unbound. These are multi-color offset press
reproductions of an original complete folio which was purchased in 1839
by the Teyler's Museum in Haarlem, Holland. The edition is full-sized at
25 by 39 inches, and the paper was specially manufactured in the traditional
way using 100% unbleached cotton rags. The paper mill G. Schut & Zonen
(founded 1625) specially marked the paper with the Audubon watermark.
