In volume II, vertical tears to the upper margin of (3)5 and (4)5, not affecting the text. In volume III, roughly half of quires remain uncut along the top edge. Loss to the top edge of ?3.

At the age of 58, John James Audubon (1785-1851) -- the consummate woodsman and naturalist -- embarked on his first journey across the Rocky Mountains to the Great Plains, seeking mammals to illustrate for this ambitious project following his vast and expensive Birds of America (1827-1838, octavo edition 1840-1844). Audubon failed to obtain government funding for what he called his "Great Western Journey." Undeterred and believing in the scientific value and commercial promise of The Quadrupeds, Audubon decided to finance the expedition himself. He sought collaboration with The Rev. John Bachman (1790-1874), a Lutheran Pastor who had studied quadrupeds from his youth and was recognized as an authority among naturalists in the United States. Bachman was not keen on the trip, and Audubon himself conceded the hardships that it would entail. In a letter to Charles Bonaparte in February of 1843, he wrote: "To render [the Quadrupeds] more complete, I will leave the comforts of my home and beloved family, bound to the Rocky Mountains. I cannot tell how long I may be absent, but look to re.

I am told that I am too old to undertake such a long and arduous journey, but I reply that having the will, I will no doubt safely bear or even surmount the difficult.

At the age of 58, John James Audubon (1785-1851) -- the consummate woodsman and naturalist -- embarked on his first journey across the Rocky Mountains to the Great Plains, seeking mammals to illustrate for this ambitious project following his vast and expensive Birds of America (1827-1838, octavo edition 1840-1844). Audubon failed to obtain government funding for what he called his "Great Western Journey." Undeterred and believing in the scientific value and commercial promise of The Quadrupeds, Audubon decided to finance the expedition himself. He sought collaboration with The Rev. John Bachman (1790-1874), a Lutheran Pastor who had studied quadrupeds from his youth and was recognized as an authority among naturalists in the United States. Bachman was not keen on the trip, and Audubon himself conceded the hardships that it would entail. Audubon departed from St. Louis in April 1843, traveling up the Missouri River with a group that included trappers, gentleman naturalists, and several Native Americans who had come to the city for trade. En route, Audubon delighted in sharing his work. During one of his impromptu showcases, Edward Harris (a naturalist on the expedition), recounted that one onlooker fled shocked from Audubon's plate of woodchucks, exclaiming they were surely alive. After traveling some thousand miles, the group arrived on the prairie, a haven of wildlife where elk, deer, bears, wolves, and vast herds of buffalo roamed free, ripe for observation. Upon returning home, however, Audubon's health began to deteriorate, and he left the illustrations of smaller animals for his son, John Woodhouse Audubon, to complete. Ultimately, just over half of the quadrupeds were illustrated by John James himself, with the remainder completed by John Woodhouse. The backgrounds were finished by his youngest son, Victor Gifford Audubon, who saw the book through the press. It took the Audubon family five years to finalize and publish all 150 plates for the folio edition (The Viviparous Quadrupeds. 1845-1848), which was later supplemented by 6 plates. As with the Birds, the large-format Viviparous Quadrupeds was limited in circulation because of the cost, with the result that the Audubons issued a royal octavo edition in the years following. This too was issued in parts, here preserved, beginning in 1849, which contained all 150 of the original images plus 5 of the 6 supplemental, reduced by camera lucida (and in some cases altered to suit the smaller format). Nissen, ZBI 163; Sabin 2368. Catalogued by G.R. Murdock.

Condición: Near Fine. 1st Octavo Edition. Royal Octavo. A marvelous 1854 partial 1st Octavo Edition set of Audubon's iconic masterpiece, in a contemporary Fine Binding. Three volumes, complete with 155 hand-colored stone lithographs by William E. Hitchcock, printed and colored in the Philadelphia shop of J.T. Bowen. Volumes I an…d II are 1854 early printings, while volume III is an 1854 1st Edition. Later three-quarter green levant morocco with titling and ruling in gilt. Spines aged to a rich golden brown. Raised bands to spine. All edges gilt. Square tight bindings. Clean interiors, save for the bookplate of early 20th-century Proctor and Gamble executive Stockton Buzby to the front pastedown. Volume I - viii, 383pp, 50 plates; Volume II - 334pp, 50 plates; Volume III - 348pp, 55 plates. Bound without tissue guards. Interior clean and bright with just a hint of sporadic foxing. Unobtrusive, minor offsetting opposite the lithographs. All hinges sound. "Quadrupeds" was first published in three elephant folio volumes 1845 -1848, with 150 color plates. The first octavo edition was bound together from original parts, issued similarly to his octavo edition of 'Birds of America', a wildly successful edition, more portable and affordable than the elephant folio version. The Octavo edition features all original 150 plates, plus five of 6 supplemental plates issued separately in 1854. Overall an exquisite set of exceptional quality.

FIRST EDITION OF THE ONE OF THE GREATEST COLORPLATE BOOKS PRODUCED ENTIRELY IN AMERICA IN THE NINETEENTH CENTURY. After an unsuccessful attempt to secure federal funding for his "Great Western Journey," Audubon determined that the commercial potential of the Quadrupeds was sufficient to risk funding the expedition himself. "To render [the Quadrupeds] more complete, I will leave the comforts of my home and beloved family, bound to the Rocky Mountains I cannot tell how long I may be absent, but look to return loaded up knowledge, new and abundant specimens on the shot and not from stuffed museums' moth-eaten remains. I am told that I am too old to undertake such a long and arduous journey, but having the will, I will no doubt safely bear or even surmount the difficulties" (letter to C. Bonaparte, February, 1843, quoted by Rhodes). To his collaborator the Rev. James Bachman, he exclaimed "I am growing old, but what of this? My spirits are as enthusiastical as ever, my legs full able to carry my body for ten years to come, and in about two of these I expect the illustrations out, and ere the following twelve months have elapsed, their histories studied, their descriptions carefully prepared and the book printed!" (Streshinsky, Audubon: Life and Art in the American Wilderness, p. 332). It was to be J.J. Audubon's last major endeavor. Returning home in late fall of 1843 aged 58 and in declining health, he delegated many of the smaller mammals to his son John Woodhouse to draw and the backgrounds to his youngest, Victor Gifford, who also supervised the printing and publication. Despite Audubon's optimistic timeline for the completed work, it took the family five years to publish 150 plates in thirty parts. The first proofs were ready in 1842, but Audubon was Audubon's lithographer J.T. Bowen was immersed in the production of the octavo set of The Birds of America. The last part of the octavo Birds appeared in May, 1844, and publication of the folio Quadrupeds began immediately, with the first number being issued in January, 1845 and the first volume completed within the year. The accompanying octavo text volumes, written and edited by Rev. John Bachman, first appeared between 1846 and 1854. "The massive project was a commercial success, thanks to the close management of Victor" (Reese), attracting a total number of 300 subscribers.
