Abstract
Among the greatest treasures of the antebellum South Carolina College was its complete set of Audubon's huge double-elephant folio Birds of America (435 plates), published in parts between 1828 and 1838. The current exhibition traces the development of bird illustration, to give a context for viewing Audubon's achievement. The exhibition is arranged chronologically, starting with European bird illustrations of the sixteenth century and concluding with Audubon and other nineteenth century illustrators.
