  John James Audubon's four-volume edition of Birds of America , published between 1827 and 1838, contains 435 hand-colored life-size prints of 1,065 individual American birds. In tracing Audubon's quest to produce this work, this work draws on the artist and naturalist's own writings and the scholarship on his life and on Birds of America .
