Audubon Aquatint, Roscoe
AUDUBON, John James (1785 - 1851).
Roscoe's Yellow Throat, Plate 24.
Aquatint engraving with original hand color.
London: Robert Havell, 1827-1838.
38 5/8" x 25 1/2" sheet.
Comparable: Christie's, 6/25/2004 - $2,390; Neal Auction Co., 2010 - $1,342
It was the only one of the kind I have ever seen, although I went to the same swamp for several days in succession. It proved a male, and was to all appearance in perfect plumage. The gizzard was nearly filled with very minute red insects, found on Cypresses and Pines, the wings of different flies, and the heads of red ants.
