*** START PRICE IS THE RESERVE ***
AUDUBON, John James (1785 - 1851).
Red-Eyed Vireo, Plate 150.
Aquatint engraving with original hand color.
London: Robert Havell, 1827-1838.
38 1/2” x 25 1/2” sheet.
Provenance: From the John Painter Vickers Collection.
Comparable: Christie's, 2004 - $2,390; Christie's, 2001 - $1,645.
The Red-eyed Vireo is an inhabitant of the whole of our forests. Now you hear its sweet, unaffected, musical, loud and free warble, from the inner top branches of a tall tree, for hours at a time, and even during the hottest part of the day; again, you may count each note that it utters, the little vocalist resting as it were to enjoy the sounds of its own music; next moment all seems hurry and bustle;--it raises its voice, and chants on with great volubility, so loudly that one might think the little creature intent on drowning all other sounds.
