Plate 256-Purple Heron. 26 1/4” x 39 1/4”. Full size direct camera facsimile of original print. The Princeton Audubon Edition is limited to 1500 copies and the only direct camera Audubon lithographs ever made. Up to 11 color plates with specially developed fade-proof inks were used giving absolute color fidelity to the actual original. The Princeton Edition uses very heavy archival paper which is recommended by the Library of Congress for archives and is specially toned to match the actual color of the antique originals. Princeton Audubon prints are permanently displayed at The Royal Society of London, to which Audubon belonged as a Fellow.
