Download or read book The Composite Plates of Audubon s Birds of America written by Albert Filemyr and published by Albert Filemyr. This book was released on 2008 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite all that has been written about John James Audubon and his work, one aspect had been overlooked, until now... In 1838, as John James Audubon's monumental creation, Birds of America, was nearing completion, he requested his engraver, Robert Havell, produce 13 extra, unique prints. Havell was instructed to combine images from two separate plates into a single print, commonly known as a "Composite Plate". Only two full sets, along with a handful of individual prints, of these rare prints exist today and are rarely if ever seen by the public. In this book the authors, for the first time, provide an analysis as to how and why these plates were made, while providing illustrations depicting all 13 of the Composite Plates.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Audubon's Birds and Quadrupeds of America: List of Plates Now Offered for Sale Separately Of this celebrated Duck, far famed as food for epicures, Audubon presents in this magnificent plate three fine specimens, two males and a female. One of the males is gracefully sailing along on the water, with head erect and as'if fully conscious of the beautiful spectacle which he presents; while the other, standing upon the shore, with outstretched neck and open bill, is preparing to snatch at some object on the sur face of the water which has attracted his eye. The female is represented standing upon a rock on the edge of the water. In the background is a view of the city of Baltimore. All three of the birds are drawn life size and colored from nature, and in their easy and graceful positions form a truly magnificent spectacle.

Book excerpt: Early in the 1800s John James Audubon conceived of the project of painting all the species of birds in North America. He realized his ambition with the publication of Birds of America. This pioneering work has become an undisputed classic. The 150 prints compiled here in Audubon's Masterpieces from the first Royal Octavo edition conclusively establish the breadth and depth of Audubon's Achievement. The son of a French naval officer and a Creole woman, Audubon was born in Haiti in 1785, educated in France and moved to his family's estate near Philadelphia in 1803. It was there that his love of birds and his desire to draw them became the driving force and consuming passion of his life. Audubon devoted his life to the single pursuit of accurately yet artistically capturing the intricate details and individual splendor of the birds of North America. The enduring popularity and relevance of his work attests to his success both as a scientist and an artist. Today, Audubon's name is synonymous with wildlife preservation, and he is recognized as one of the greatest artists of his time. The 150 prints in this book are known as being among the very best examples of Audubon artistry. From the Carolina Parrot, now sadly extinct, to the rare Whooping Crane and the more common blue birds and woodpeckers, Audubon's portrayals are among the finest examples of wildlife art in existence. This exquisite collection of plates represents Audubon's genius at its very height. Audubon's Masterpieces is without a doubt one of the most magnificent collections of bird prints every published.
