John James Audubon’s Birds of America ranks as one of the greatest achievements in American art. Its groundbreaking format depicting 435 of North America’s known bird species life-size and in habitat captured the imagination of the public and catapulted him into international fame. This presentation provides audiences with insight into Audubon’s ambitious, self-styled role as adventurer, artist and natural scientist. In addition to providing an overview of Audubon and his era, the presentation focuses on his work in the South Carolina Lowcountry.
