Minor strengthening of the lettering in the Audubon and Havell credits. First State. A handsome example of John James Audubon's double elephant folio etching of a female wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) with her nine young on a lush forest floor. Audubon began painting the model for this plate in 1820 on his way down the Mississippi. It was one of the first plates engraved for the Birds of America, appearing before Audubon shifted that task from William Home Lizars to Havell, and aquatinting became de rigueur. The scene captures the natural behaviors and interactions of the young with their mother. Notably, in this first state, the two chicks in the lower right corner are without the snail that appears as their quarry in later states of the print. Low notes that the female turkey has a "beard" on her chest, which is described as being more common on males. Map.

Size 8x6 inches (12 x 15cm)William Havell British 1782-1857Havell was born in Berkshire, the son of a drawing master. He attended where his father taught art. Although his father was initially reluctant to encourage his son in his choice of career knowing from personal experience the potential financial hardship involved he was won over by William's obvious talent, and funded a sketching trip to Wales which proved to be an invaluable training ground.In 1804 William sent his first contribution to the Royal Academy. In the same year he became one of the founding members of the Society of Painters in Watercolours. 1813 he seceded from the Watercolour Society, but under a then existing rule continued to contribute to their exhibitions, as well as to the Royal Academy, where he exhibited in 1812 and 1814.In 1816 Havell was engaged in painting a series of pictures called 'Picturesque Views and Characteristic Scenery of British Villas', when he was appointed to the post of draughtsman with the embassy to China. As a result of a serious quarrel on board ship with one of the officers, his position became untenable and he left the post, sailing to India in 1817. There he stayed until 1825, finding lucrative employment in painting portraits and landscape . On his return he rejoined the Watercolour Society, but found that his work was not as popular as it once had been, and after a while be ceased to contribute to their exhibitions and took to painting in oils instead.In 1827, Havell travelled to Italy. He became a frequent exhibitor at the Royal Academy, his subjects being chiefly Italian, but sometimes from Wales, Westmoreland, and China. Although his works were of great merit and distinguished by pure and delicate colour, and having lost his savings by the failure of an Indian bank, he became a pensioner on the Royal Academy's Turner Fund. Havell died, after some years of declining health.
