The individual will have a choice of: print format -- page with script, or crane image only, print size -- octavo size (8 1/2" x 11") or life size (24" x 36") and paper type -- Archival Photo or heavy weight cotton rag Giclee Just visit the site at some point during the day and take note of the number visitor you are based on the "hit counter" at the bottom of this page, e-mail Roswell with this number and cross your fingers... Roswell Eldridge MD The Eldridge-Audubon Octavos Initiative and Operation Migration Collaborative: Roswell Eldridge is one of Operation Migration’s newest supporters and is himself involved in a rescue effort. Rare volumes of John James Audubon's Birds of America, octavo edition, are being destroyed as individual prints are removed and sold, Audubon's text discarded. But Roswell has demonstrated that fine, collectable prints can be produced from intact volumes and that accompanying booklets containing Audubon's complete, personal descriptions are themselves of value. Roswell is offering for sale through OM only, limited edition prints, with booklets, of the Adult Whooping Crane and 'Young' Whooping Crane from his intact 150 year old volumes. (Audubon mistook the Sandhill Crane for a young Whooper). He is contributing all proceeds to OM. |
