John James Audubon (1785-1851), French-American ornithological artist.


John James Audubon (1785-1851), French-American ornithological artist. Steel engraving by Charles Wands from a portrait in oils by John Syme from Sir Thomas Dick Lauder and Captain Thomas Brown's "Miscellany of Natural History: Parrots," Edinburgh, 1833. The Miscellany was intended to be a multi-volume series, but was brought to an abrupt halt after only the second volume on cats when Audubon complained about the unauthorized use of his illustrations.
