John Cassin"Alpomado Falcon" Hand Colored Bird Lithograph from USPRR Exploration & Survey1859
1859
About the Item
This striking hand colored stone lithograph of a "Alpomado Falcon" was created by John Cassin (1813-1869) and is Plate 1 in the "USPRR Exploration and Survey Report", published in Washington, DC in 1859.
The 12 volume report was authorized and funded by the US government to determine the most practicable and economical route for a railroad from the Mississippi River to the Pacific Ocean. These explorations and subsequent reports represented the greatest collection of knowledge of the topography and natural history of the Western United States created during the nineteenth century.
John Cassin was an ornithologist and illustrator. He was named curator of the Philadelphia Academy of Natural Sciences in 1842 and worked with John Bowen, the lithographer for John James Audubon. After Bowen's death in 1856 he took over the lithography firm and published many of Audubon's books. His most famous works were Illustrations of the Birds of California, Texas, Oregon, British and Russian America (1853-56) and Birds of North America (1860).
