Description
*** START PRICE IS THE RESERVE ***
AUDUBON, John James (1785 - 1851).
Tree Sparrow, Plate 188.
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 - $2,868; Christie's, 1987 - $1,540.
The Tree Sparrow sings sweetly during the love season. I have frequently listened to their musical festivals near Eastport, in the State of Maine, while gazing upon them with an ardent desire to follow them in their progress northward. Twenty or more, perched on the same tree, often delighted me with their choruses, now and then varied with the still clearer notes of one or two White-throated Finches, that, like leaders of an orchestra, seemed to mark time for the woodland choristers.
