Description
Four original Audubon hand colored bird prints from "The Birds of America / By John James Audubon" - Octavo edition circa 1844 - professionally matted and framed. Each print measures within mat 5 1/2" x 9 1/2" and total frame size is 12 1/2" x 16 1/2" - the frames are sealed on reverse so the prints could not be examined any further than within the mat - they came from the same estate as previous lot so all are believed to be of original size. Each with a copy of the title page attached to reverse 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: Arctic Ground Finch (initialed R T below center of artwork), Fox-coloured Finch, Ferruginous Mocking Bird, and American Robin or Migratory Thrush . The bottom left of each print is marked in italics letters "Drawn from Nature by J.J. Audubon. FRSFLS" and bottom right marked "Lith.d Printed & Col.d by J.T. Bowen. Philad.". Unless otherwise specified, all prints, are in very good condition. Note - the mats on some prints with minor foxing but foxing does not appear in the prints themselves. See photos for additional information.
