Six original Audubon hand colored bird prints from "The Birds of America / By John James Audubon" - Octavo edition circa 1844 - matted, but not framed. Each print measures approximately 6 1/2" x 10 1/8". Three have not been trimmed and still retain the original holes from where it was attached in the book - three also contain initials below the center of the lithograph. See next lot, from the same estate, where a copy of the title page is attached to reverse of frame that reads "The Birds Of America / From / Drawings Made In The United States / And Their Territories. / By John James Audubon, F. R. SS. L. & E. / Vol. III / New York / Published by J.J. Audubon. / Philadelphia: J. B. Chevalier.". Titles include: Sea-Side Finch, Sharp tailed Finch ( small circular stain in plate), Long Finch, Towhe Ground Finch, Crimson-fronted Purple Finch, and Evening Grosbeak. The bottom left of each print is marked "Drawn from Nature by J.J. Audubon. FRSFLS" and bottom right marked in italics letters "Lith.d Printed & Col.d by J.T. Bowen. Philad.". Unless otherwise specified, all prints are in very good condition. See photos for additional information.
