Kicking off Filoli’s 2015 season of art exhibitions in the Visitor and Education Center will be a special collection of prints titled The Birds of America from Filoli’s Permanent Collection. The original illustrations featured in this historical set where done by John James Audubon, an American naturalist and painter, between 1827 and 1838. His original works were made from life-sized engraved plates that were then printed and hand-colored. His collection forever shaped the natural history and ornithological worlds. Sadly, the collection documents six now-extinct American birds. For the first time, all 30 of Filoli’s 1964 edition prints will be displayed.
