Thomas Sidney Cooper was one of the foremost animal painters of the Victorian period. He was greatly encouraged by Abraham Cooper (of no relation) and Sir Thomas Lawrence. Cooper entered the Royal Academy Schools before taking up a position as a teacher in Brussels in 1829. He was also influenced by the 17th century Dutch School. In 1831, the artist settled in London and first exhibited at Suffolk Street in 1833. He exhibited 48 pictures at the British Institution between 1833–63. Landscape and Cattle at the Royal Academy of Arts in 1833 and was shown until 1902 without a break; it was a record for a continuous exhibit at the Royal Academy of Arts. Sheep and cattle were his most frequent subjects, although he did paint a few figurative ones as well. His studio sale at Christie’s lasted three days from 12–15 April 1902. His works can be found in the Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery; the Blackburn Museum & Art Gallery; the National Museum Cardiff, Wales; the Glasgow City Art Gallery; the Leeds Art Gallery; Leicester Museums and Galleries; the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool; the Victoria and Albert Museum in London; the Wallace Collection in London and the National Gallery in London.

Bowen, Philadelphia, PA Publisher: John James Audubon and J.B. Chevalier, New York, NY and Philadelphia, PA Sheet size: 6.75" x 10.44" Image size: 5" x 7.63" Condition: In excellent condition Very rare The "Roseate Spoonbill" is one of the very top, absolute most desirable birds from Audubon's famous "Birds of America" series Notes: Provenance: private collection - Fleming Island, FL. Lithography and hand-coloring by American artist John T. Bowen (1801-c.1856). Comes from Audubon's famous seven volume portfolio "The Birds of America", First Royal Octavo Edition (1840-1844), which consists of 500 hand-colored lithographs. Based on a composition painted in Florida in 1831 or 1832. "This beautiful and singular bird" was prized for its wings and tail feathers which were made into fans in St. Augustine. The roseate spoonbill is a gregarious wading bird of the ibis and spoonbill family, Threskiornithidae. It is a resident breeder in both South and North America. The roseate spoonbill's pink color is diet-derived, consisting of the carotenoid pigment canthaxanthin, like the American flamingo. To make 'The Birds of America' more affordable and widely available, in 1839 John James Audubon began the first octavo edition, a smaller version of the folio which was printed and hand-colored by J. T. Bowen in Philadelphia. Employing a new invention, the camera lucida, the images were reduced in size, rendered in intermediate drawings by John James Audubon and his son John Woodhouse, and then drawn onto lithographic stones. These miniatures exhibit a remarkable amount of attention to quality and detail, as well as a meticulous fidelity to the larger works. Some compositional changes were made in order to accommodate the smaller format. Like the Havell edition, John James Audubon’s first...
