DescriptionWe are proud to be able to offer a fine original FIRST EDITION hand colored lithograph by John James Audubon (1785-1851) from his masterful ...work entitled The Birds Of America. This hand-colored lithograph comes from John James Audubon’s first octavo edition of Birds of America published from 1840 to 1844. The work was completed under the direct supervision of J. J. Audubon. The lithography and hand-coloring was completed by J. T. Bowen.Prints from Birds of America are amongst the most sought after and collectible of hand-colored American prints. The first edition was the only one to be completed using strictly hand-coloring. Only 1200 complete sets of this fine work were published. John James Audubon (1785-1851) is perhaps the most famous of early American naturalists. Birds of America is one of the best examples of hand-colored work in America and is highly collectible.We are fortunate enough to have acquired a large collection of these of these fine images and will be listing them in the ensuing weeks/monthsThank you for looking and please be sure and look at our other auctions for other fine works by Audubon from the first as well as the 1860 editions of the Birds Of America.
