Image colors fresh and rich with no foxing.FIRST OCTAVO EDITION of Audubon's final great work with the plates in fresh colors. The work was the result of Audubon's collaboration with John Bachman a Lutheran Pastor who had studied quadrupeds from his youth and who was recognised as an authority in the United States. The two began their association when Audubon stayed with Bachman and his family in Charleston for a month in 1831. Audubon knew that Bachman's contribution was critical but had to fight hard to convince his friend to take part. Bachman eventually relented with the proviso that all profits and expenses were to be the Audubons: the work was expected to show a healthy return and he was eager to benefit his sons-in-law Victor and John Woodhouse Audubon.In 1898 Charles E. Lauriat 1842-1920 decided to became a bookseller only and leave the publishing to his former partner Dana Estes. So their partnership was dissolved. Dana Estes continued to publish books as Dana Estes and Company. Lauriat bought out the stock of Estes and Lauriat and on June 1 1898 started his retail establishment at 301 Washington Street Opposite "Old South". He sold the Estes books as well as the books of other publishers He moved to larger quarters in 1906 just down the way at 385 Washington Street. Boston He remained as president of this company until his death. New York: V.G. Audubon, 1849, 1851, 1854 unknown
