This is an original hand-colored folio edition John James Audubon engraving entitled "Esquimaux Curlew", Folio, Pl. CCVIII", No. 42, Plate 208, from Audubon's "Birds of America". It was engraved, printed and colored in London by Robert Havell, Jr. in 1834. It depicts a male and a female Esquimaux Curlew birds on land. The male stands on a mound and the female lies on the ground. The esquimaux curlew bird was once abundant in the United States, but it is currently presumed extinct, as it was last seen in 1962.
This original folio edition hand-colored Audubon bird engraving is presented in a medium brown-colored wood frame with a charcoal gray-colored mat. It is glazed with UV conservation glass. All of the framing and mounting materials are archival. The frame measures 23.25" high by 28.38 wide by 0.75" deep". The sheet appears to have been trimmed. There is a small spot in the upper right and a few tiny barely perceptible spots elsewhere. The print is otherwise in very good condition.
