Description
A limited edition M. Bernard Loates lithograph after John James Audubon (1785-1851) work Canadian Goose. This work on a double elephant folio sheet measuring 39.5 x 26.5 inches depicts a pair guarding a nest in a wetland scene. It is numbered and signed by hand in pencil by the artist. 39.5 x 26.5 inches.John James Audubon's Birds of America by M. Bernard Loates was produced using original art and engravings of Audubon/Havell Birds of America. Skins and plumage of the actual bird were gathered so that expert colorists could hand mix the German â€Å“Light Fast” Inks with great details as to accuracy. These colors were added using hand cut overlays and knockouts techniques with the mixed inks. Ink was laid down using a special Omni technique with 400 line screen variations to create a one of a kind image very pleasing to the eyes of the master lithographer Bernard M. Loates. The screens used were so fine (400 line) they were very difficult to print but depicted a continuous tone image even under a magnifier. Colors were added one at a time for depth because of stock absorption and drying time needed on the archival 100 lb, 100% rag acid free and neutral pH stock. This stock was custom made and watermarked with M. Bernard Loates name by Manadnock Paper Mills, New Hampshire. The images have a minimum of 32 to 60 passes through the single color Harris Offset Press with color tints and overlays too numerous to calculate.Expedited domestic shipping will be $35. Additional Loates prints purchased during the auction can be shipped in the same 8* tube at no additional cost
