All 471 of Audubon's original watercolours are reproduced in this book, with 95 given special full-page display accompanied by extensive ornithological and artistic information and analysis. The original watercolours, which frequently differ from the more usually seen engravings made from them, reveal Audubon's skill as an artist.

Almost as good as having a real Birds of America (alright not that good, but still impressive).
