Birds Of America showcases 46 prints from a same-named book published as a series between 1827 and 1838. 

Hailed for its spectacular, large-scale ornithological illustrations, the book stands almost one metre in height and was the culmination of French-American artist John James Audubon’s ambition to paint every bird species in North America... 

The exhibition is presented by National Museums Scotland and also features letters, manuscripts, films and audio.
