About the Viviparous Quadrupeds of North America

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.

Produced in partnership with the Field Museum of Natural History, this museum-sanctioned edition offers exacting replicas of Audubon’s Viviparous Quadrupeds of North America as modern Oppenheimer Editions prints. Executed to exacting standards, this edition offers Audubon’s 50 best quadrupeds as limited-edition fine art prints made with the finest quality archival pigments on rag watercolor paper.

About John James Audubon

America’s most revered artist-naturalist, John James Audubon (1785—1851), is renowned for his extraordinary undertaking to record The Birds of America & The Viviparous Quadrupeds of North America. The images he created are icons of 19th-century art and capture the nascent stages of American natural history. Audubon’s muti-decade venture resulted in the publication of his monumental folio The Birds of America which documented over 700 bird species on 435 plates. In a similar manner and with the help of his two sons and his friend Reverend John Bachman, Audubon later produced The Viviparous Quadrupeds of North America, which contained 150 plates depicting the mammals of North America. Audubon’s folios were seismic in the fields of ornithology and mammalogy and set a new precedent for natural history illustration.
