An exclusive gift edition in leather binding with pancake and silver embossing on the cover and spine of the book, invested in the original case. The book is made in an exclusive colorful design, richly illustrated.
This is the first Russian edition of the most expensive circulation book in the entire history of printing. The capital work of an outstanding American animal artist James Odubon "Birds of America" is rare in beauty and reliability painted engravings. They were created by the master for 12 years. This album has long become a universally recognized rarity, a unique example of the 19th century book art. Suffice it to say that the cost of engraving artists from the first edition (which was only 200 copies) exceeds a million dollars per piece. There are as many as 435 illustrations in the album
