						 The 
						New York Historical Society is exhibiting its entire 
						collection of 474 bird watercolors by John James Audubon 
						for the first time.
 |  |  
			They're being shown chronologically in 
			three exhibitions over three years. The first group went on view 
			Friday. 
			The collection includes 435 watercolors 
			engraved for Audubon's monumental "The Birds of America." The 
			intricately detailed, life-size renderings are the naturalist's 
			greatest work. An original edition of Audubon's book, known as 
			the double elephant folio, is also being shown. Its plates will be 
			turned weekly.   
			The 3 1/2-foot-tall volume features all 
			the avian species known to Audubon in early 19th-century North 
			America. He sold the engraved plates in a subscription series. The museum purchased all the watercolors, except one, from the 
			artist's widow in 1863.   
			The first exhibition ends May 19.
