J.J. AUDUBON GREAT ESQUIMAUX CURLEW, HANDCOLORED ENGRAVING WITH AQUATINT PL.CCXXXVII: From John James Audubon's original edition of The Birds of America produced by hand-colored engraving on wove paper, 25 1/2'' x 37 3/4'', marked upper left corner with No. 48, and upper right Plate CCXXXVII; Audubon credit lower left - Drawn from Nature by J.J. Audubon, F.R.S.F.L.S., and lower right - Engraved, Printed and Coloured by R. Havell, London 1835. Bird's name centered below image Great Esquimaux Curlew, J. Whatman Turkey Mill watermark, the most famous and prized of the Original Audubon prints are the aquatints produced under the artist's supervision between 1826 and 1838. Based on Audubon's watercolor and ink drawings, copper plates were engraved using acid and resin, and black ink prints were made on ''double elephant'' sized paper, 27 1/2 x 39 1/2 inches, to depict the birds in full life-size. The paper was made by James Whatman at Turkey Mill in Kent County England. This paper was the finest available and bears the countermark saying ''JWhatman'' or ''JWhatman/Turkey Mill'' followed by the date. The prints were then hand water-colored by a team of colorists in the engraver's studio, also under the artist's supervision. The 435 plates, originally issued in 4 volumes, comprise the folio, Birds of America, one of the most beautiful books ever produced. The first 10 plates were engraved by William Home Lizars of Edinburgh, Scotland. Labor problems forced Lizars to resign from the project, and Audubon then began his association with Robert Havell, acknowledged master of the aquatint technique. Fewer than 200 complete folios were produced; most today have been separated into individual prints. (Audubon House of Natural History, Key West, Florida). CONDITION: Crease with some paper separation in upper right corner approximately 6'' diagonal, taped verso for support, small chip in lower corner with paper remaining, minor bit of paper loss in upper margin, several specks of foxing, mild toning, minor crease in right mid margin. |
