Audubon Aquatint, Chestnut sided warbler
AUDUBON, John James (1785 - 1851).
Chestnut sided warbler, Plate 59.
Aquatint engraving with original hand color.
London: Robert Havell, 1827-1838.
39 1/4" x 26 3/4" sheet.
Comparables: Neal Auction Co., 2011 - $4,182.50; Arader Galleries, 2020 - $2,562.
Provenance: John Vickers Painter's Deckled Collection, with full uncut margins.
"Where this species goes to breed I am unable to say, for to my inquiries on this subject I never received any answers which might have led me to the districts resorted to by it. I can only suppose, that if it is at all plentiful in any portion of the United States, it must be far to the northward, as I ransacked the borders of Lake Ontario, and those of Lakes Erie and Michigan, without meeting with it. I do not know of any naturalist who has been more fortunate, otherwise I should here quote his observations." - (Audubon's Ornithological Biography, 1831).
