John James Audubons sumptuous fourvolume edition of Birds of America, published between 1827 and 1838, contains 435 handcolored lifesize prints of 1,065 individual American birds. A glorious union of science and art, it remains an unequaled achievement in ornithology illustration.In tracing Audubons quest to produce this groundbreaking work, Vedder draws on the artist and naturalists own writings and the latest scholarship on his life and on Birds of America. Plates from the Huntington Librarys doubleelephant folio are reproduced in color, including the wild turkey, Baltimore oriole, bald eagle, and the (once presumed extinct) ivorybilled woodpecker. Vedder provides with each plate a commentary on the unique characteristics of the species depicted, based on Audubons own observations in the field.Lee A. Vedder is the Luce Curatorial Fellow in American Art at the New York Historical Society in New York City, serving as the primary curator of its painting and sculpture collections. She holds a Ph.D. in art history from the University of Maryland and specializes in British and American art of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
