The Birds of North America: Bald Eagle.

Print, folio (11 1/2" x 15"), chromolithograph, color, plate I, archivally matted, attached at the top with archive tape. Very slight aging; otherwise bright and clean and very attractive. Published in several editions, the plates are extremely attractive. Studer (1840-1904) was born in New York City, and would become a printer and lithographer. He was also an ornithologist, and seems to have been active in this field in the Columbus, Ohio area after the Civil War. However, it is believed that the plates were based on drawings by Theodore Jasper. The plates, while very attractive, are believed to be designed to help with identification. This plate, which features the Bald Eagle, is probably the most outstanding in the collection. The eagle is shown in a natural setting. May require extra postage. Cornell online library website
