This is an original John James Audubon hand-colored royal first octavo edition lithograph entitled "Golden-winged Woodpecker, 1. Male, 2. Female2", No. 55, Plate 273, from Audubon's "Birds of America". It was lithographed, printed and colored by J. T. Bowen and published in Philadelphia between 1840-1844. It depicts two colorful Golden-winged Woodpeckers, one perched on a thin branch and another higher bird perched on a thicker truncated tree trunk. Their open beaks are in close proximity to each other. A third woodpecker peaks out from behind the trunk with a worm in its beak. First edition octavo prints are very desirable for Audubon collectors today, because they were created under the direct instruction and supervision of Audubon and were always entirely hand-colored.
This original vibrant first octavo edition hand-colored Audubon lithograph is in excellent condition. The sheet measures 10.125" high by 6.375" wide. The descriptive text pages, 282-289, from Audubon's original publication are included.
