JOHN JAMES AUDUBON (1785-1851) “Columbia Jay, No. 20” Print

Print by famed French-American naturalist, ornithologist, and artist John James Audubon (1785-1851) depicts a pair of Columbia Jay birds with bright blue plumage perched on the branch of a tree, the top jay pecking precariously at a seed. Combining his interests in art and ornithology, Audubon set out to paint and describe every species of bird within America, eventually publishing his crowning achievement, The Birds of America, from 1827 to 1839; a work that included 453 life-sized paintings and remains popular to this day with birdwatchers and artists alike. This print is housed in a wooden frame with gold accents and stamped with Audubon’s publishing information along the bottom of the paper.
