For this octavo edition, the plates, accompanied for the first time by the text, were reduced and modified from the original Havell engravings for the London double-elephant folio. The plates were reduced by camera lucida and some of the backgrounds entirely changed or greatly modified. The original compositions were altered so that only one species is depicted per plate. The octavo Birds of America was originally issued in 100 parts, each containing five plates.
