Description: Shipping Audubon 2nd ed Octavo SUMMER RED BIRD Birds of America 1856 original litho JOHN JAMES AUDUBON (1785-1851) LITHOGRAPH ON PAPER, 6.5″ X 10.25″ (Sight) EXCELLENT condition with great colors and no defects to report. This is an original hand-colored print - #208 - from the royal octavo second edition of John James Audubon's Birds of America, published in 1856. The second octavo edition was produced under the supervision of John James Audubon's sonsand features a combination of hand-coloring and chromolithography. The credits are in BLOCK LETTERS, the distinguishing point of the second edition for numbers 151-500. This remarkable image is one of the triumphs of the octavo edition, what Audubon called his "small work," a near exact reproduction of Havell plate 44 using the camera lucida to reduce the image in size. Only slight differences can be detected between the small work and the large: the lowest branch was trimmed and the bottom bird's feet were repositioned for the Bowen plate. Only a slight reduction was needed to fit the three birds on the smaller page. The camera lucida process worked very well with the small birds, which still appear "the size of life." Comes in a plastic protector, and will be sandwiched between wider foam boards for mailing. Buyer to pay $8 Priority Mail shipping within U.S. International shipments made at $18 via Priority Intl.
