Great Northern Diver or Loon

From "The Birds of America" (Amsterdam Edition)

John James Audubon(1785-1851)

Image size (including text): 24 3/4 x 36 1/4 inches

Sheet size: 26 3/4 x 39 7/8 inches (approx..)

The renowned Dutch printing firm of NV Fotolitho Inrichting Drommel at Zandvoort undertook the task of printing a copy of the original Havell work using up to eight different colors using the extremely complex but highly accurate process of color photo-lithography. 

Unhappy with the commercially available papers, they turned to the traditional paper manufacturers G. Schut & Zonen (founded in 1625), who, using 100% unbleached cotton rags, were able to produce a wove paper of the highest quality, with each sheet bearing a watermark unique to the edition.

The publishers and their dedicated team completed their task late in 1972 and the results of these labors were affectionately known as the "Amsterdam Audubon." 250 copies were published and sold by subscription, with the plates available bound or unbound. Given all this careful preparation, it is not surprising that the prints have the look and feel of the original Havell edition.
