Ruffed Grouse - from Audubon's Birds of America Metal Lunch Box

Plate 41 Ruffed Grouse (Bonasa umbellus) from The Birds of America by John James Audubon. This image was scanned at very high resolution directly from the original book, The Birds of America by naturalist and painter John James Audubon (published in sections between 1827 and 1838 as a series). It has then been edited, cropped, sharpened and enhanced as needed for large scale format and use. While some of the original flaws form the old print will remain, this is one of the best versions of this artworks available. All 435 hand coloured life-size watercolors in the original portfolio, reproduced from hand-engraved plates, are available. If you cannot find the image or plate you want please contact me through this store (Zephyrus Books) and I will be sure to get it posted for you.
