Quadrupeds of North America: Pouched Jerboa Mouse.

Print, 8vo, color lithograph, plate CXXX, matted, but not laid down. Upper margin a little rough, some aging and browning, slight foxing; otherwise very good. John James Audubon (1765-1851), after coming to America around 1803 would become a noted naturalist and artist. His most well known work, The Birds of America, was produced between 1826-1838 and sold by subscription. The folio edition of The Viviparous Quadrupeds of North America, was also sold by subscription, and published from 1845-1848. The octavo size version of this work was first published from 1849-1854. This plate of the Pouched Jerboa Mouse, which shows a pair against a natural background, is generally clean and bright and was from a set published by J.T. Bowen. ANB. Audoboninfo website.
