How do you tell if an Audubon print is valuable?
To tell if an Audubon print is valuable, you'll need to do some online research. The age, type, style, condition and size of the print series all impact its value. By looking at how much pieces with similar characteristics sold for in the past, you can estimate its value. However, having a certified appraiser or knowledgeable art dealer evaluate your piece can provide a more specific valuation. On 1stDibs, shop a selection of John James Audubon prints.
