Complete
Octavos Parts from
the
First Octavo Edition of
The Birds of North America
These
packs of five octavos plus the original text are a rare find. These booklets
"Parts" are how the original subscribers to the Royal Octavo Edition received
their prints. When J.T. Bowen and the Audubons completed a group of five bird
images and the accompanying text they were loosely bound with paper covers and
delivered to the subscribers. When the subscribers received a complete volume
worth of images and text they had the Parts unbound and then rebound in leather
hard covers. These intact original booklets are much more rare than the Octavos
themselves since most subscribers had their complete volumes bound and most
prints on the market were cut from bound volumes. This represents a great
opportunity to buy an interesting piece of Audubon history
