Half-title pages present in vol 1 and 3, not in vol 2. Illustrated with 155 hand-colored lithographed plates with tissue guards present after J.J. and J.W. Audubon, drawn on stone by W.E. Hitchcock, lithographed & colored by J.T. Bowen; tissue guards. (Large 8vo) 10½x6¾" (26.5x17 cm), tight, full black leather binding, front with gilded squirrel on a tree on all three volumes, back cover with the same image cold-pressed without gilding. Gilt decorations on all sides incl. inner dentelles, spines lettered in gilt, white endpapers, all paper edges gilt. Most tissue guards with more or less foxing. Hardly any foxing on the pages and when, only in the margins. Paper very slightly browned and with the occasional finger smudges in the margins of the plate pages.
Famed collaboration between Audubon and his sons, John Woodhouse Audubon and Victor Gifford Audubon, and the Lutheran minister John Bachman. They traveled through much newly explored territory of the United States, drawing and painting many species that are scarce or endangered, or even extinct, today.
