138 - Pine Marten. Hand-colored stone lithograph from Audubon's Imperial Folio edition of the Viviparous Quadrupeds of North America.
About Pine Marten, Audubon wrote "Let us take a share of the cunning and sneaking character of the fox, as much of the wide-awake and cautious habits of the weasel, a similar proportion of the voracity of the mink, and add thereto some of the climbing propensities of the raccoon, and we have a tolerable idea of the attributes of the little prowler".

138 - Pine Marten
Hand-colored stone lithograph from
Audubon's Imperial Folio edition of the
Viviparous Quadrupeds of North America.
After successfully publishing his masterpiece "The Birds of America", with the encouragement and collaboration of his good friend, Rev. John Bachman of Charleston, SC, Audubon and Bachman published the "The Viviparous Quadrupeds of North America" in three volumes during 1845 to 1848 (viviparous means giving birth to live young). The original watercolor paintings of the quadrupeds by Audubon (and his younger son John Woodhouse who painted some of mammal images and his elder son Victor Gifford who drew the backgrounds) were issued as stone lithographs in the Imperial Folio size (~28" x 22"). They employed the eminent lithographer, J.T. Bowen of Philadelphia. In this gallery, we present some of these original hand-colored Imperial Folio edition stone lithograph prints.
Please ask for full condition report in the print you are interested in, before purchasing.
