Never before has a museum exhibited every print at once.

The engravings will be arranged as Audubon intended them to be seen, in their original order, from print 1 to 435.In addition to displaying the complete first edition of The Birds of America, HistoryMiami will also exhibit the seven volumes of the second edition, each open to one of the lithographs. The pages of these volumes will be turned regularly while the exhibition is on display.
