This is an original 1st octavo edition John James Audubon hand-colored lithograph entitled "yellow-breasted Rail, Adult Male in Spring", No. 62, Plate 307, from Audubon's "Birds of America". It was lithographed, printed and colored by J. T. Bowen and published in Philadelphia between 1840 and 1841. It depicts an adult male yellow-breasted Rail bird on the left standing on a rock on the bank of a body of water, looking to the right, perhaps at something in the water or on an island on the right with trees. The landscape surrounding the bird is striking.
This original 1st octavo edition hand-colored Audubon lithograph has binding holes along lower edge and a few tiny, barely perceptible spots. It is otherwise in very good condition. The sheet measures 6.5" high by 10." wide. The descriptive text pages, 152-156, from Audubon's original publication are included.
