Naturalist and painter John James Audubon was born on this day in 1785 in San Domingue (Haiti) and came to New Orleans in 1821 while working on his “Birds of America” series.

THNOC’s acquisition of this rare, double-elephant Audubon Portfolio was made possible by the 2016 Laussat Society. | The Historic New Orleans Collection
