Found at an estate sale, this small matted print of the Crested Grebe (No. 86, Plate 479) is an antique stone lithograph plate with original hand-coloring from an octavo edition of John James Audubon’s famous “The Birds of America” issued sometime between 1850 and 1870. The image area is 6″ x 9.25″ and the mat is 10″ x 13.3″. I’m not sure when it was matted, but it was probably at least 20 years ago. The mat is cream-colored. This print is in very good condition and after matting was sealed in a Mylar envelope which I haven’t opened. What might appear to be a blemish above the back of the male Crested Grebe is a tiny italic number 1. There’s a clearer italic 2 above the back of the young Crested Grebe. These correspond to the lettering on the print, which reads as follows: Crested Grebe Adult male in spring. 2. Young (first winter) Drawn from Nature by J. J. Audubon F.R.S.F.L.S. Lith ‘Printed & Col’ by J. T. Bowen Philad. Probably this print was given years ago as a gift because a portion of a label on the back, likely the section bearing the price, has been torn off. The remnants of this label indicate that this antique print had at one time been identified as being from the 1840-1844 printing of Audubon’s “Birds of America”. The 1840-1844 printing was the first octavo edition of this acclaimed work and was published by J.T. Bowen of Philadelphia. However, a knowledgable eBay member has been kind enough to inform me that, despite the label on the back, this print is not from the original 1840-1844 edition. That’s because prints from that edition have either hand-painted or plain paper backgrounds. Based on the fact that this print has a light tan sky with several light-colored horizontal streaks he was able to identify it as coming from an edition released sometime between 1850 and 1870. Prints made during this time period have a lithographically colored background, not a hand-painted one. He says, “The tan background was done by chromolithography, a very exacting and difficult technique. Chromolithographic prints are made from inked limestone plates and are solid in color.” This older printing technique is different from modern off-set lithography, which was introduced around 1900 and produces rows of tiny dots visible with a magnifier. He went on to say that although the tan sky was added as a chromolithograph, the colors of the birds are hand-painted, as in the original 1840-1844 edition. The last photograph shows layers of watercolor paint in the iris of the eye of the mature Crested Grebe as seen through a 10X loupe. It appears to me based on examination with the loupe that the blue of the water in foreground is also hand-painted. It’s possible that this print is from what’s somewhat misleadingly referred to as the 1870-1871 Lockwood edition–misleadingly because it wasn’t the work of Roe Lockwood alone but was a joint undertaking in which John James Audubon was also personally involved. I understand that the Lockwood edition was the 7th printing of these octavo prints. Like the 1840-1844 edition, it was published in Philadelphia and the lithographer was J.T. Bowen. Antique print dealers’ websites often contain information to this effect: “Other than the colored backgrounds which were added to all post-first editions, the main images on these prints are, for the most part, identical to those of the first edition and feature hand-coloring. The lithographs from this set are very nicely colored with beautiful color backgrounds. These are some of the best examples of hand-colored work in America and are highly collectible. They are on fine heavy stock paper measuring 6 7/8 x 10 ½ inches.” However, in the only example of this particular print from the Lockwood edition I’ve been able find online, the light streaks in the tan sky are much different from those in this print. I don’t know if that means that this interesting print is from an earlier edition or if it simply reflects variation among individual prints made from the same chromolithographic plate. If you’re dissatisfied with this matted print in any way, you can return it in the same condition in which you received it within 14 days for a full refund.
