The Baby Elephant

The original Double Elephant Folio edition of J.J. Audubon’s  Birds of America publish around 1826 came in at a weight of about 56 pounds.  I received the Baby Elephant edition for Christmas which comes in at about 20 pounds.  Heavy.  Each page is 11 3/4 x 15 inches. The paper is appropriately thick.  This is not the field edition. The prints are excellent.  I think drawings of birds are much better than photographs, especially when done well.
