Its 150 plates were issued between 1845 and 1848 on imperial folio sheets, the smaller animals drawn life-size, and lithographed and coloured by hand by J. T. Bowen in Philadelphia. As Audubon's eyesight failed, his son John Woodhouse Audubon drew many of the later plates, travelling as far as Texas to find his subjects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach plate is a hand-coloured lithograph rather than an engraving: Bowen's printers drew the image on stone and his colourists finished every sheet by brush, which gives the fur its soft depth and makes each impression slightly different from the next.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTaken from a high-resolution scan of an original folio plate, with Bowen's hand colouring left exactly as it was laid. Each print is made to order on cotton-fibre archival paper, then mounted with a wide even border and hand-framed in our workshop rather than sent out.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Natural History Room","offers":[{"title":"46cm x 61cm","offer_id":55493678629205,"sku":"QUADRUPEDS077-M-61X46","price":95.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0886\/6414\/6261\/files\/gallery-0_efc6d302-627c-490f-9af2-53a4eedfdd72.jpg?v=1792780169","url":"https:\/\/theposteredit.com\/en-intl\/products\/prong-horned-antelope-plate-77-audubon-quadrupeds-of-north-america-print","provider":"The Poster Edit","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
