Plate 305 American Coot, Original Audubon Octavo Print

This print has never been cleaned or restored.  Being over 170 years old it demonstrates characteristics commonly associated with its age and usage, such as finger smudges (spoiling) along the margins and the natural discoloring of the paper (toning).  There are a few blemishes or age spots (foxing).  As an indication of these characteristics for this print please refer to the photos. The edge that was attached to the book is untrimmed - see photo.  The paper is in good condition with few noticeable marks or spots.  Colors are fresh and vibrant.  Overall, I believe that this print is in excellent condition. This print measures 6 5/8" x 10 1/8" Feel free to email if you have any specific questions or requests regarding this print.--General Information About Octavo Prints Plate 305 American Coot Original 1840 First Edition Audubon Octavo Print for Sale First edition Octavo prints are a very popular among Audubon collectors today because they were created under the direct instruction an
