John James Audubon Print of Whooping Crane in Ltd Edition of 1000 by master print maker M Bernard Loates newly framed in custom archival framing.
ABOUT:
Limited Edition Audubon print from The Birds of America series by Master Lithographer M. Bernard Loates. Arguably the best North American printmaker of our era, he is renown for his high quality Audubon lithographs.
The Loates Birds of America series are the only modern Audubon edition to be created from the original Audubon water colors. Loates was granted permission by the New York Historical Society to work directly from the originals water colors. He removed all of the color from the images he made from the originals and then, with the aid of master colorists, carefully added back the color to achieve as close as possible a representation of how the original water colors would have looked on the day that Audubon finished them.
In Audubon Art Prints, Bill Steiner says, "Over ninety colors of ink and paint were used...Loates prepared a new etched steel plate for each image, and the quality far surpasses that of all other modern...[Audubon] prints.
Condition: As Issued Fine Condition. The print has been stored in a temperature and humidity controlled environment in a Palm Beach estate..
Paper: High quality extra heavy weight paper that is blank on the back. There is a nicely defined plate mark around the image.
Signature: Pencil signed by Loates in the lower right corner. There are embossed chop marks next to the signature.
Number: Hand numbered in the lower left corner. There are embossed chop marks next to the number. This listing is for the print number above the top picture.
Size: Double Elephant Folio sized at 26.5" x 39.5". Image area is approximately 23.75"(25 for the wings outside the green area) x 35.75". less
