Arader Galleries is very happy to announce our upcoming Auction, held in conjunction with
Guernsey’s Auction House, devoted entirely to Audubon’s celebrated hand-colored
aquatints from his iconic double elephant folio edition of “The Birds of
America” (1827-1838), the single most important work on North American
ornithology; and hand colored lithographs from the imperial folio edition of
the “Viviparous Quadrupeds of North America”, the first truly great American color-plate
book.
The auction will be held at our gallery on the corner of
Madison Avenue and 72nd
Street, New York,
