Audubon 's double-elephant folio edition of The Birds of America (1827-1838) established his reputation as the greatest ornithological artist of his time. Though that edition was published in London to ensure the quality of the plates, he employed the Philadelphia firm of J. T. Bowen to produce this more commercially viable edition under the close supervision of his sons.   The original subscription price was $100, and its commercial success granted Audubon financial security. To the original plate count included in the double-elephant folio edition, the octavo edition adds 65 new images for a total of 500 plates, making it "the most extensive color plate book produced in America up to that time" (Reese).

Provenance: Anthony Standen (ca 1548 - ?), English intelligencer (early signatures on final leaf); Willi Drewe (ex-dono inscription). THE EDITION OF CHAUCER LIKELY USED BY SHAKESPEARE AS A SOURCE FOR TROILUS AND CRESSIDAFifth edition of the Collected Works, one of two recorded issues with this date: as here, with the preliminaries collating A6, and another with preliminary woodcuts and with preliminaries collating A4. Traditionally, it has been believed that the illustrated issue was printed first, with the cuts omitted in the second issue.   More recent scholarship suggests that the printer came into possession of the woodcuts belatedly, and that the unillustrated issue was first (see David R. Carlson, "The Woodcut Illustrations in Early Printed Editions of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales", in Chaucer Illustrated: Five Hundred Years of the Canterbury Tales in Pictures, British Library, 2003). The text, edited by John Stowe, is based on William Thynne's translation, which was the first serious attempt at a critical edition; the majority of the works added to here to the Chaucer canon for the first time are spurious.
