print room: John James Audubon
    octavo prints from The Quadrupeds of North America
     (mostly later editions, some firsts mixed in)

Audubon octavo prints are hand-colored stone lithographs taken from one of the octavo-sized editions of Audubon's work.   The octavo editions of The Quadrupeds of North America were produced by Audubon's sons, John Woodhouse Audubon (who was the artist responsible for about half the plates in this series) and Victor Gifford Audubon (who provided many of the beautiful backgrounds).  Most prints shown on this page are from an 1856 volume (unless otherwise noted).  Also available are a few prints we bought as singles from a first edition set.  Feel free to contact us  for detailed condition information and for scans of prints not pictured.  Be sure to scroll all the way down the page to see all prints.

Prints are from volumes dated 1856 unless otherwise noted.  Click on plates listed in red to see the scan.   26_Wolverine_1856.JPG (81272 bytes)
