Canada Porcupine, Plate XXXVI Volume 1, 1851

From "The Quadrupeds of North America" by John James Audubon. Royal Octavo. The quadrupeds were published in Octavo form as were the birds, but for the first time, the name of Audubon's son, John W., appeared on many of the plates, with J. T. Bowen as the lithographer.  A number of artists, chiefly William E. Hitchcock and R. Trembly, transferred the images to stone. The First Edition dates 1849-54, published in three volumes.
