Audubon's sons saw the need to reduce the size of the larger quadruped Imperials, and beginning in 1849, the octavo edition of The Quadrupeds of North America was published in three volumes.  Volume 1 was followed in 1851 with the second volume, and the final, the third volume was published in 1854.  Between 1,999 and 2,004 sets were published in this first edition.  The size for these editions was about 7 x 10 1/2 inches.
