Audubon - Large Lot of 36 Quadruped Lithographs
This octavo lithograph is from John James Audubon's The Quadrupeds of North America. The work was published in New York in 1854.
Quadrupeds was Audubon's final great natural history work. His animal drawings are still considered some ofthe finest prints published in America. The folio edition of this work marked the first time that America's animals were described and illustrated in one publication and the octavo publication continued that effort.
Audubon and his son, John Woodhouse, drew all of the quadrupeds in the work. Victor Gifford Audubon drew the backgrounds for many of the prints.
The work is in very good to excellent condition overall. There may be a few minor marks or imperfections to be expected with age. Please review the image carefully for condition and contact us with any questions.
