- Lot Description
Framed J.W. Audubon lithograph with lithographed caption and imprint: "Drawn from Nature by J.W. Audubon, F.R.S. F.L.S.; Lith'd. Printed & Col'd by J.T. Bowen, Philad'a.1848" No. 28 / Plate 137 from Audubon's 'The Viviparus Quadrupeds of North America.' Bears W. Graham Arader III Gallery label verso. Dimensions: (sight) 19.5"h x 28.25"w; (overall) 31.75"h x 38.75"w. John Woodhouse Audubon, the youngest son of famed naturalist John James Audubon, came to California in October of 1849 with a group of miners, but he also had hopes of continuing his father’s work in collecting natural history specimens and illustrating western nature. Unfortunately for the younger Audubon, the trip proved unsuccessful as far as gold mining. Yet he did document an important local species in The Quadrupeds of North America, in the series’ third volume published in 1854 (after his father died). The book describes a sea otter that Audubon reportedly saw while traveling the San Joaquin River on his way to the gold fields. Processing and shipping within the continental U.S. $105.00 plus 1.5% replacement cost insurance. Please note we do not accept credit cards.
