Snowy Owl Princeton Audubon Limited Edition
Check current price & buy online.
|
| | Description: Nyctea scandiaca Print size: 26 1/4" x 39 1/4"; image size: 26" x 39' Produced 1985 - Princeton Audubon Limited Edition This portrait was based on a composition probably painted in 1829 on the East coast. Audubon gave these birds the only nocturnal setting found in The Birds of America. He used pencil to portray the owl's soft, downy feathers. The breeding ground of the magnificent snowy owl lies across northern Alaska and Canada, where the lemming is its staple food, supplemented by ptarmigan, fish and hare. A persistent hunter, it spends much time on lookouts such as banks, boulders, knolls, and dunes along the sea. Periodic epidemics decimate the lemmings and seem to account for the bird's southward flight, which gives Stateside birders a chance to see this large, white inhab... click here for more info

| | Description: Dryocopus pileatus Flora: fox grapes or red grapes, Vitis labrusca, or V. palmata Print size: 26 1/4" x 39 1/4"; image size: 24 1/2" x 37" Produced 1985 - Princeton Audubon Limited Edition Next to the rare or perhaps extinct ivory-billed, the pileated is the largest of all North American woodpeckers. This plate, a combination of pencil, ink, watercolor, and tempera, is based on a painting probably executed in 1829 at Mauch Chunk, Pennsylvania, and considered to be one of Audubon's finest works. He wrote, "When followed [the pileated woodpecker] always alights on the tallest branches or trunks of trees, removes to the side farthest off, from which it every moment peeps, as it watches you progress in silence." Audubon also wrote: "The observation of many years has convinced me, that W... click here for more info

| | Description: Snowy Egret, Egretta thula Print size: 26 1/4" x 39 1/4"; image size: 19 1/2" x 24 1/2" Produced 1985 - Princeton Audubon Limited Edition In the early spring of 1832, Audubon and his assistant George Lehman stayed at the home of John Bachman in Charleston, South Carolina. Audubon wrote of the thousands of snowy egrets that had arrived there by March 25 and "were seen in the marshes and rice fields, all in full plumage." Soon he painted this magnificent egret, while Lehman added the landscape of a rice plantation in the Carolina low country. Known to the plume hunters as the "Little snowy," the bird was adorned in breeding season with delicate plumes. Its lovely recurved back plumes were the milliners' "cross aigrettes," and it was for these nuptial feathers that the heronries were d... click here for more info

| | Description: Lophodytes cucullatus Print size: 26 1/4" x 39 1/4"; image size: 24 1/2" x 19 1/2" Produced 1985 - Princeton Audubon Limited Based on a composition painted in New Orleans in 1821. Of the male, at left, Audubon wrote: "Its broad and rounded crest of pure white, with an edging of jetty black, and which it closes or spreads out at pleasure, renders the male of this species conspicuous on the waters to which it resorts. The activity of its motions, the rapidity of its flight, and its other habits, contribute to render it a pleasing object to the student of nature..." Edward Howe Forbush considered the hooded merganser the most beautiful of its family. He wrote: "Vivacious, active, elegant in form, graceful in carriage, its presence adds a peculiar charm to the little ponds and stream... click here for more info

Columbian (Anna's) Hummingbird Princeton Audubon Limited Edition

|
| | Description: Anna's Hummingbird, Calypte anna Flora: hibiscus, drawn by Maria Martin Print size: 26 1/4" x 39 1/4"; image size: 12" x 19" Produced 1985 - Princeton Audubon Limited Edition Based on a composition probably painted in London in 1838. Audubon received the female and nest from Thomas Nuttall, who collected them in the Rocky Mountains. The four males at the top of the print were drawn from specimens Audubon found in an English collection. Anna's hummingbird is slightly larger than other West Coast hummingbirds and is the only hummer to remain constantly throughout this area in winter. The others cross the border into Mexico. In the early spring the male often makes quite an effort at singing, though this sounds to some like a high-pitched squeak rather than a song. There is no mist... click here for more info

Vigors's Warbler (Pine Warbler) Princeton Audubon Limited Edition

| | Description: Pine Warbler, Dendroica pinus Flora: spiderwort, Tradescantia ohiensis Print size: 26 1/4" x 39 1/4"; image size: 11 1/2" x 18 1/2" Princeton Audubon Limited Edition - Produced 1985 With a name difficult to enunciate and impossible to locate in a bird guide, Vigors's warbler is in truth an immature pine warbler. Considering that the bird has also been known as a pine-creeping warbler or a pine creeper because of its preference for evergreen habitat, this portrait seems executed on an unlikely perch-a spiderwort plant. But that is exactly where Audubon saw it one day in May 1812 during a visit to Mill Grove, the farm he once owned on Perkiomen Creek, near Valley Forge, Pennsylvania. Later, thinking it to be an undiscovered species, he named it "Vigors's Warbler" in honor or the Eng... click here for more info

| | Description: Porphyrula martinica Print size: 26 1/4" x 39 1/4"; image size: 18 1/2" x 11 1/2" Produced 1985 - Princeton Audubon Limited Edition This portrait is based on a composition apparently painted in Louisiana in 1822. The yellow legs, red beak, blue frontal plate, and solid white undertail area of the purple gallinule are distinctive. As it walks over the floating plants in the marsh or along roadside ditches, it can be seen constantly jerking its tail in a pert manner. Audubon wrote of this bird: "I candidly assure you that I experienced a thousand times more pleasure while looking at the Purple Gallinule flirting its tail, while gaily moving over the broad leaves of the waterlily, than I have ever done while silently sitting in the corner of a crowded apartment, gazing on the flutteri... click here for more info

|
| | Description: White Pelican, Pelecanus erythrorhynchos Print size: 26 1/4" x 39 1/4"; image size: 24" x 37" Produced 1985 - Princeton Audubon Limited Edition Based on a composition painted perhaps in Florida in 1831 or 1832. Landscape artist, George Lehman, worked on the background. The white pelican, with a wingspread of nine feet, does not plunge for food like the brown pelican, but fishes as it swims along, using the large bag that hangs from he lower part of its bill as a dip-net. It often gathers in groups for cooperative fishing. It nests for the most part far inland in the western half of the continent. Audubon wrote: "Ranged along the margins of the sand-bar, in broken array, stand a hundred heavy-bodied Pelicans...Pluming themselves, the gorged Pelicans patiently wait the return of hu... click here for more info

Princeton Audubon Limited Edition - produced 1985. This print is based on a painting composed in Louisiana about 1825 and inscribed at the lower right: "The upper Specimen was shot near Bayou Sarah and appeared so uncommon having 14 Tail feathers all 7 sizes distinct and firmly affixed in 14 diferent recepticals that I drew it more to verify one of those astonishing fits of Nature than any thing else-it was a female-The Green headed [a young bird] is also a singular although not so uncommon a Variety as the above one-Louisianna-December-J.J.

Landscape artist, George Lehman, painted the mangrove limb. The brown pelican is a ponderous bird, but with its six-and-one-half-food wingspread has a powerful flight which it alternates with short glides. The bird carries a large pouch under its lower bill and has an appetite for fish as large as the pouch. American children learn of the brown pelican through a well known bit of doggerel that begins: "What a wonderful bird is the pelican-Its beak can hold more than its belly can,..."

Audubon studied the habits of the pair of hawks represented here over a period of three years, and this devotion resulted in one of the finest works he did in Louisiana before sailing to Liverpool in 1826. "The mutual attachment of the male and the female continues during live," Audubon wrote. "They usually hunt in pairs during the whole year; and although they built a new nest every spring, they are fond of resorting to the same parts of the woods for that purpose." Although it has been known as the "big chicken hawk," and "hen hawk," only a small percentage of the red-shouldered hawk's food is m... click here for more info

The artist, Joseph Mason, also worked on the background. More than half a century earlier, the Swedish naturalist Linnaeus, in a scientific description of this orange and black American oriole, had named the bird in honor of Cecil Calvert, second Baron of Baltimore, because Lord Baltimore's family colors were also orange and black. Now known as the northern oriole, its mellow whistle, loud, clear, and rather low-pitched, is a sure sign of the retreat of... click here for more info

American Goldfinch Princeton Audubon Limited Edition
Check current price & buy online.
|
| | Description: This print is based on a composition probably painted in August 1824 in New York State, for Audubon wrote: "In ascending along the shores of the Mohawk river, in the month of August, I have met more of these pretty birds in the course of a day's walk than anywhere else, and whenever a thistle was to be seen along either bank of the New York Canal, it was ornamented with one or more Goldfinches." The goldfinch, a joy to even the most casual observer, is common from ocean to ocean, and its flight call as it dips through the air, per-chic-o-ree, per-chic-o-ree, is as sweet as that of any caged canary. Dr. Frank M. Chapman, in his Handbook of Birds of Eastern North America, says that "their song is delivered with an ecstasy and abandon which carries them off their feet, they circle over the... click here for more info

The landscape artist, George Lehman, painted the flowering limb of the geiger tree. "I saw them as they approached the shore," Audubon wrote, "skimming along the surface of the waters, flying with great rapidity, much in the manner of the common house species, but not near each other like the Passenger Pigeon. On nearing the land, they rose to the height of about a hundred yards, surveyed the country in large circles, then with less velocity gradually descended, and alighted in the thickest parts of th... click here for more info

"I have presented you with several figures of this singular species," Audubon wrote of the painting from which this plate was engraved, "to shew you their positions when on the wing performing their antics in the love season as well as when alighted." This "performing," as he noted, involved "the strangest and most whimsical gesticulations." The chat is the largest member of the New World family of wood warblers and prefers to live in tangled thickets and hedgerows along streams. It has been described by George Dock, Jr. as "one of the most talented clowns of the feathered kingdom, both with its vo... click here for more info

Audubon's young assistant, Joseph Mason, was the artist who painted the blossoming twig which Audubon identified as a "Dwarf horse chestnut." The Carolina wren seems so full of song-clear, strong, yet sweet. This song consists of loud, rapid triplets, described variously as a spirited three-part tea-kettle, tea-kettle, tea-kettle, or a two-part wheedle, wheedle repeated half a dozen times. Unlike most other wrens, it is nonmigratory. Common in the Southeastern United States, it tends to extend its northern ranges after mile winter... click here for more info

The original for the plate was a painting made in 1829 and inscribed "Great Pine Swamp, Aug-12th." "Black and Yellow Warbler," the name formerly applied to the magnolia warbler, was most descriptive of its color, but had the disadvantage of being equally descriptive of several other warblers. Thus the change to magnolia warbler. In its movements it has a trick of partly spreading its tail, thereby showing the characteristic white band c... click here for more info

"The specimen from which the drawings were taken," Audubon wrote, "was presented to me by a friend who had received it from the Columbia River, and is the only individual...which I did not receive on the spot." Actually, the bird is a native of Mexico rather than the Columbia River area in Oregon, and in painting it, Audubon departed from an early resolve never to draw from a stuffed specimen. In so doing, he erred and included the magnificent magpie jay with his northw... click here for more info

| | Description: Mourning Dove, Zenaida macroura Flora: silky camelia, or Virginia Stewartia, Stewartia Malachodendron Print size: 26 1/4" x 39 1/4"; image size: 19 1/2" x 24 1/2" Princeton Audubon Limited Edition - Produced 1985 Probably painted about 1825 in Louisiana. The pair of birds at bottom was apparently done first, since the limb on which the topmost bird sits is not connected to the branch on which its mate is perched. In this painting Audubon attempted, as he wrote, to give "a faithful representation of two as gentle pairs of Turtles [doves] as ever cooed their loves in the green woods. I have placed them on a branch of Stuartia, which you see ornamented with a profusion of white blossoms, emblematic of purity and chastity." Though this bird was known to Audubon as the Carolina turtle d... click here for more info

Hummingbirds, found only in the New World, fascinated Americans and Europeans of Audubon's day. to gratify this widespread curiosity with a number of views of the diminutive ruby-throat, he placed ten of them together, although in nature they are too pugnacious to associate this closely. He spoke glowingly of this bird of eastern North America: "No sooner has the returned sun again introduced the vernal season, and caused millions of plants to expand their leaves and blossoms to the genial beams, than the little ... click here for more info

The name "parula," meaning a diminutive Parus or titmouse, was given this warbler because of its chickade... click here for more info

| | Description: Troglodytes aedon Print size: 26 1/4" x 39 1/4"; image size: 11 1/2" x 18 1/2" Produced in 1985 - Princeton Audubon Limited Edition Audubon made a pastel drawing of a male house wren when he and his wife were in Pennsylvania in 1812. Later, he made use of this work to produce the present composition showing the wren nest in a felt hat. His penciled outline of the tree limb was completed for the engraving by Robert Havell, Jr. Audubon wrote of his original painting: "I knew of one [nest] in the pocket of an old broken-down carriage, and many in such an old hat as you see represented in the plate...I hope you will...look at the little creatures anxiously peeping out or hanging to the side of the hat, to meet their mother; which has just arrived with a spider, whilst the male is on th... click here for more info

While Audubon and Joseph Mason were wandering through a Louisiana cypress swamp on August 13, 1821, Audubon shot and wounded what he believed to be a bird of an unknown species.

Actually, the bird is a young female Canada warbler. Audubon's young assistant, Joseph Mason, drew the leaves and ripe seed pod of the southern magnolia. Aptly named, the Canada warbler haunts the undergrowth, shady thickets, and dense w... click here for more info

Maria Martin drew the dogwood branch, a drawing most interesting to botanists since the accompanying text in the Ornithological biography contains the first recorded description of the western, or mountain, dogwood, Cornus nuttalli, which has six involuted bracts instead of the four of the well-known eastern species. Audubon wrote: "In my plate are represented two adult birds, placed on the branch of a superb species of dogwood, discovered by my learned friend, Thomas Nuttall, Esq., when on his march toward the shores of the Pacific Ocean, a... click here for more info
