Item Details
Description
*** START PRICE IS THE RESERVE ***
AUDUBON, John James (1785 - 1851).
Golden-crowned Thrush, Plate 143.
Aquatint engraving with original hand color.
London: Robert Havell, 1827-1838.
38 1/2” x 25 1/2” sheet.
Provenance: From the John Painter Vickers Collection.
Comparable: Christie's, 2004 - $2,390; Christie's, 1987 - $1,430.
The nest is so like an oven, that the children in many places call this species the "Oven Bird." I have found it always on the ground, sometimes among the roots of a tall tree, sometimes by the side of a fallen trunk, and again at the foot of some slender sapling. It is sunk in the ground among dry leaves or decayed moss, and is neatly formed of grasses, both inside and out, arched over with a thick mass of the same material, covered by leaves, twigs, and such grasses as are found in the neighbourhood.
