Have you ever seen a book bigger than a coffee table? Audubon’s Birds of America is one of the largest treasures in our collection, so big it takes two people just to open it. Widely considered one of the greatest natural history books, each bird is painted life-size, with the largest species bending and stretching to fit onto the page. Imagine how big it would need to be to include Australian species like the emu! #StateLibraryQLD #BirdsOfAmerica #JoanOfArchives #Brisbane | State Library of Que
