Audubon Common Snow Bird Pl. 167 - Birds Of America Royal Octavo 1st Edition Antique Print

The Birds of America - First Royal Octavo EditionAdirondack Retro has recently acquired these extremely rare and highly collectible First Edition Royal Octavo Edition Prints of "The Birds Of America" by John James Audubon, published by J.J. Audubon, New York and J.B. Chevalier, Philadelphia. The Hand-Colored Stone Lithographs of this first royal octavo edition were lithographed by the Philadelphia firm of J.T. Bowen between 1840-1844. The outlines were hand printed from a lithographic stone and each print was hand colored. They were produced from the much larger Havell images, using the Camera Lucida. These prints bear the same legend as the Havell Edition, except that J.T. Bowen is shown as the Lithographer in the lower right corner of each print. Each print also bears the Plate Number in the upper right corner, as well as the subscription number in the upper left corner. It is the only octavo edition in which the prints were prepared under the direct supervision of John James Audubon. These Audubon Stone Lithographs exhibit wonderful color and detail, and are extremely popular and increasingly scarce.PRINT TITLE➤ Common Snow Bird Pl. 167YEAR/DATE ➤ 1840-1844 First Royal Octavo EditionARTIST/ILLUSTRATOR➤John James AudubonLITHOGRAPHER/ENGRAVER ➤ Lithographed, Printed & Colored by J.T.
