Birds of America Double-elephant folio Editions
Viviparous Quadruped Imperial Folio Editions
Audubon’s Quadrupeds represent the most important body of Wildlife art of the 19th century.
Published between 1845 and 1848, the Viviparous Quadrupeds of North America was a collaborative project between John James Audubon, his two sons, and the renowned naturalist Reverend John Bachman. Containing 150 prints documenting the four-legged land mammals of North America, the prints were lithographed on imperial folio-size paper and hand-colored by the studio of the distinguished Philadelphia printmaker John T. Bowen.
