AUDUBON, JOHN JAMES (1785-1851), after. – HAVELL, Robert (1793-1878).
Barn Owl (Plate CLXXI)
Strix Flammea
The Sachsen-Meiningen copy. The famous Sachsen-Meiningen set of Audubon’s Birds of America was never bound, and this engraving retains its full sheet size with deckle edges preserved. "The [present] plate is a night scene, one of only three in The Birds of America" (Low). The other night scenes depict the Snowy Owl and the American White Pelican. Audubon's painting of this subject is dated from New Jersey, July 1832. Low, p. 111.
Engraving with hand-coloring, etching, and aquatint, dated 1833, on watermarked J Whatman paper dated 1833. Sheet size 1001 x 667mm. (Pale mildew residue, a few soft creases, one minute stain within the plate near the lower right corner, a few short tears at the margin edges, otherwise in very good condition.)
