Audubon Aquatint, Louisiana Water Thrush
AUDUBON, John James (1785 - 1851).
Louisiana Water Thrush, Plate 19.
Aquatint engraving with original hand color.
London: Robert Havell, 1827-1838.
38 5/8" x 25 1/2" sheet.
Comparable: Guernsey's, 12/05/2012 - $2,318; Neal Auction Co., 2017 - $1,536
Much and justly as the song of the Nightingale is admired, I am inclined, after having often listened to it, to pronounce it in no degree superior to that of the Louisiana Water Thrush. The notes of the latter bird are as powerful and mellow, and at times as varied.
