Although Audubon was confused about the young Bald Eagle which he painted for plate XI, which he called Bird of Washington, he had the species correct for the bird he painted here (an adult)" (Low, pp. 46-47).Engraving with hand-coloring, etching, and aquatint, dated 1828, on watermarked J Whatman paper dated 1828. 637 x 950 mm sheet size.
