John James Audubon( American, 1785-1851). Printed and colored by John T. Bowen (American, 1801-ca. 1856). "Rocky Mountain Goat" lithograph in colors - Published in Philadelphia from 1849-1856. A framed octavo sized lithograph of Audubon's "Rocky Mountain Goat", number 26 / plate 128 of "The Vivaparous Quadrupeds of North America" which was created in collaboration with reverend and naturalist John Bachman (1790-1874) who wrote the accompanying text. Audubon and his son John Woodhouse left during the summer of 1843 for an expedition along the Missouri River to depict and document the 4-legged mammals of North America. The esteemed printmaker John T. Bowen produced the set of 150 black and white lithographs which were hand colored. This piece depicts a male and a female goat. One is standing and one is lying upon the foothills, as the Rocky Mountains grace the background. Size of sight view: 6.25" L x 9.25" W (15.9 cm x 23.5 cm) Size of frame: 20.375" L x 23.25" W (51.8 cm x 59.1 cm)
John James Audubon was an American painter, ornithologist, and naturalist who created illustrated zoologies that served as both scientific documents and wonderful works of art on paper in the 19th century before photomechanical processes were the primary method of creating book illustrations. Zoological illustration is a specialized genre of art, and while Audubon sought to accurately depict animals like other illustrators, his work stands apart as an exemplar because he was also concerned with aesthetic considerations and created the finest compositions, meeting the demands of both art and science.
Audubon is perhaps most famous for his depictions of birds; however, he also depicted mammals as we see in this example. Prior to Audubon's work and that of only a few others including John Gould and Josef Wolf, most ornithological and zoological illustrations were not drawn from life but rather from mounted specimens, showing a bird perching upon a branch for example. Audubon was one of the first to impart motion and instill life in his illustrations. What's more the medium of colored lithography was ideal for capturing the vivid hues of birds' plumage and mammals' fur.
