Antique Bird Print of the Canadian Woodpecker by Audubon, c.1840

About the Item

Antique bird print titled 'Canadian Woodpecker'. Beautiful bird print depicting a male Canadian Woodpecker in a tree. Originates from the first royal octavo edition of 'The Birds of America' by J. Bowen. Artists and Engravers: Drawn by J. J. Audubon. Even as Audubon was seeing the last plates of the first edition of The Birds of America being finished, he was making plans for the publication of a smaller version. This royal octavo edition, first published in New York and Philadelphia in 1840-44, was such a success that seven editions followed it. Condition: Good, minor defects from handling. Please study image carefully. Date: c.1840 Overall size: 15.5 x 26 cm. Image size: 11 x 17 cm. We also offer thousands of antique prints covering fields of interest as diverse as architecture, natural history, religion, ethnology and many more. Antique prints have long been appreciated for both their aesthetic and investment value. They were the product of engraved, etched or lithographed plates. These plates were handmade out of wood or metal, which required an incredible level of skill, patience and craftsmanship. Whether you have a house with Victorian furniture or more contemporary decor an old engraving can enhance your living space.
