Audubon Quadrupeds
-
Version
1.0
Audubon's superb paintings capture in exquisite
detail the breathtaking beauty of the four-footed
creatures that populated the North American forest
and plains of the 1840's. In the early 1840's John
James Audubon decided to paint the animals of North
America. Having achieved worldwide fame with
his "Birds of North America", he joined with his son,
John, and Dr. John Bachman to draw and describe
America's quadrupeds. The result was the publication
of "The Viviparous Quadrupeds of North America" (1845-
48). Like the birds, the animal paintings have no
equal, and are still considered the finest animal
prints published in America. The pictures in this
screen saver are directly from the original three-
volume first edition Imperial Folio size (28 x 22
inches) printing. 52 images are presented.
