• Lot Description

  Renowned as an ornithologist par excellence, naturalist John J Audubon (1785 - 1851) left America one of its finest artistic treasures in his seminal The Birds of America, a multi-year subscription publication which documented the birds native to the United States.
  
  The specimen we present is the Long-billed Curlew, published in 1834 as a hand colored aquatint print featuring a male and female bird in a marshy environ against the backdrop of the growing and vibrant Charleston, South Carolina.

  This double elephant folio print shows the grand sweep of the city along the river, with a close-up view of the birds who are the star attractions. The beauty of the birds and the natural colors enables this print to grace a variety of spaces, but as the centerpiece of a dining room or living room mantle, it commands easy understated attention.

  Please note: This item requires payment by wire transfer, details of which will be provided to the winning bidder. Winning bidder will pay for shipping by private art carrier which may require extended delivery time of a couple of weeks or more depending on the carrier's schedule.
