Description
This Audubon print are from the second edition done by Julius Bien in New York City in 1860 using the newly invented process of chromolithography. Each color was added by a separate printing plate and finished with hand coloring. Because the Civil War broke out before the printing run was finished, only 100 different plates were done, and consequently these prints are rarer than the earlier Havell edition. Blackbirds, Plate 216, elephant folio size. Dimension: Image 22" x 31.5" Framed 32.5" x 42"
Condition: Very Good Condition
