Got an Audubon print at estate sale... according to the sticker/label on the back, it was originally framed and sold by the Joseph Horne Co. (Boston?) . Frame style is simple, shellac finish.
There is some frogging and a little staining at the bottom which may be authentic, or may be artfully simulated.
The size is not consistent with standard editions (therefore suspect); it measures 20" ' 14".
It is Plate CLXVII, identified as "No.34", "Key-west Dove"...
at the very bottom is printed "FROM THE COLLECTION OF THE NORTHWESTERN MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY".
It is printed on paper that has been laminated on heavy pasteboard.
Is anyone familiar with this edition of the print?
