Audubon Birds of America given to Field Museum
An anonymous donor presented the Field Museum of Natural History with first edition copies of The Birds of America by John James Audubon. The 1827 to 1838 four-volume folio, containing 448 aquatint plates, was purchased by Kenneth Nebenzahl in London on November 24 1969 and kept in a mahogany cabinet designed by Audubon. The set traces to Euphemia Gifford of Derby England, Audubon’s wife’s friend, as original owner.
