| New book on Audubon's work |
The most comprehensive look at the watercolor depictions of birds by John James Audubon, comes in the form of the new coffee table book
Audubon's Aviary. Published by the New York Historical Society, the book is a partnership with the Oppenheimer Gallery of Chicago, since they went to N.Y to produce high-quality digital scans of the original Audubon plates. These images make up the heart of the new book, but full-size digital scan prints can now be purchased at the Audubon Gallery in Charleston located on King Street. This local gallery is under the direction of Burton Moore, and he has duck decoys, rare books and much more for sale. Original Audubon prints adorn the wall of this gallery, and Moore is ready to discuss Audubon's artwork at all times.
