Description
*** START PRICE IS THE RESERVE ***
AUDUBON, John James (1785 - 1851).
Ruby Crowned Wren, Plate 195.
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: Arader Galleries, 2014 - $3,355; Guernsey's, 2012 - $3,050
The Ruby-crowned Wren is found in Louisiana and other Southern States, from November until March. Near Charleston, in January, they are sometimes very abundant. The old birds are easily distinguished from the young, without shooting them, on account of the curious difference in their habits, for while the latter keep together among the lowest bushes, the former are generally seen on the top branches of high trees. I have not observed a similar difference in Regulus tricolor.
