Audubon's "Little Owl, "1834 Havell Edition in Gilt 19th Century Frame
About the Item
Created as part of John James Audubon's "The Birds of North America," the single greatest work on ornithology ever produced, this fabulous print of "The Little Owl, Strix Acadica" is presented in a magnificent Renaissance Revival frame.
Audubon traveled extensively throughout the United States recording every then known species of bird in 435 plates, each in their true-to-life scale. From the very rare Havell edition of the books, this print originates from one of the only estimated 175 complete sets produced.
The frame is a particularly fine example of 19th century craftsmanship and exhibits a profusion of foliage, flowers and fruit. Hibiscus, passion flowers, pomegranates, roses, and violets comprise the broad band of the frame while supporting tiers of acanthus and lambs tongue fall in courses on the inset and supporting outer frame. The print is protected by UV filtering museum glass, and a light olive archival mat.
