John James Audubon's 'The Birds of America'; Images of Nature Gallery; Until end of August 2024; FREE (ticketed)
This free display of engravings from John James Audubon’s The Birds of America reaffirms why it continues to inspire artists, bird experts and conservationists alike.
John James Audubon was born in 1785. A self-taught wildlife artist, he spent twenty years travelling North America to record birds for his book. Published between 1827 and 1838, the 435 prints transformed bird illustration through realistic proportions, animated poses and innovative new printing techniques. The Birds of America is a feat of artistry and technical skill.
