Audubon Loates — Ruffed Grouse (PP 30/130)
A little history drop for the natural history nerds:
John James Audubon draws it from nature, 1824. Robert Havell engraves it for the double-elephant folio. 160 years later, M. Bernard Loates recreates it stroke for stroke for the Audubon Masters Collection / Master Editions Inc.
This one is a Publisher's Proof, 30/130, 38x48cm, with the full suite of chop marks and that big circular JOHN JAMES AUDUBON MASTER EDITIONS INC blind stamp.
Two strutting males, ruffs out, tails fanned, a female judging their life choices. Peak Audubon drama.
