Item Details
Description
This three volume set of 155 octavo lithographs is John James Audubon?s The Quadrupeds of North America. The set is a mixed edition published 1852 to 1854 in Philadelphia. The work is bound in three-quarter leather over marbled paper-covered boards, stamped in gilt.

Quadrupeds was Audubon?s final great natural history work. His animal drawings are still considered some ofthe finest prints published in America. The folio edition of this work marked the first time that America?s animals were described and illustrated in one publication and the octavo publication continued that effort.

Audubon and his son, John Woodhouse, drew all of the quadrupeds in the work. Victor Gifford Audubon drew the backgrounds for many of the prints.

Provenance: There's a signature of J. R. Morewood to the front blanks in each volume.

Paper Size ~ 6 3/4" by 10 1/2"
Condition
The work is in very good to excellent condition overall. The joints are lightly rubbed. The hinges of the first volume have been reinforced. There is some scattered light foxing to the text. The plates may occasionally exhibit some light offsetting or spotting / fox marks but generally very nice condition. Please review the image carefully for condition and contact us with any questions.
