About this Item

2nd ed. 1881. Original chromolithograph print. A Good print. Folio, overall size is 10.2 x 13.8 inch; image size is 9.1 x 12.2 inch. Color lithograph. Some soiling in the margins, with a few stains and a few small dots of foxing on the image itself. Although inspired by the artistry and genius of John James Audubon, Studer and Jasper's compositions are often populated with a multitude of birds rendered in a flat two-dimensional style more reminiscent of the engravings by Alexander Wilson in his introductory work on America's birds: American Ornithology, or The Natural History of the Birds of the United States, Philadelphia 1808-14.
