Spooky Wolf Prints

by Tahoe Designer on Oct.08, 2008, under Art

I was just browsing around and found these cool stylized dog and wolf prints from the Philli print shop. Turns out they are by John James Audubon.

John James Audubon, perhaps the most famous of American ornithologists, is undeservedly less well known for his wonderful work depicting The Quadrupeds of North America. With the success of his Birds of America, Audubon was inspired to do the same sort of work on the animals, with the assistance of his son, John Woodhouse Audubon. This resulted in the publication of the folio edition of The Viviparous Quadrupedsof North America, illustrating 150 species. As with the work on ornithology, this volume was later issued in octavo size, making it accessible to the general public.

These prints are from the quadrupeds edition.
