John James Audubon

Audubon's Fifty Best Watercolors, circa 2006

Plate: 96 Columbia Jay

$2,500

Audubon painted this picure in 1829 from specimens that were procured for him. He mistakenly thought they were found by the Columbia River in Oregon, hence the name, "Columbia Jay". The species is, in fact, indigenous to Mexico, still a North American bird.

Not since 1820 has this collection of Audubons original work been made availible to individual collectors as full-sized fine art facsimiles.
