Uno sguardo nuovo completo e critico sulla corsa all'oro in California attraverso l'obiettivo della macchina fotografica per dagherrotipi La corsa all'oro in California è stato il primo grande evento della storia americana a essere documentato in modo approfondito dalla fotografia. Questo affascinante volume offre uno sguardo fresco completo e critico sulle persone i luoghi e la cultura di quell'episodio storico visti attraverso i dagherrotipi e gli ambrotipi dell'epoca. Dopo la scoperta dell'oro a Sutter's Mill nel 1848 migliaia di persone si misero in viaggio verso la California compresi i dagherrotipisti che aprirono studi in città e paesi e si avventurarono nei campi d'oro con carri fotografici appositamente attrezzati. Le loro immagini tra cui ritratti vedute di città e paesi auriferi e minatori al lavoro sul campo offrono uno straordinario sguardo sull'evoluzione della cultura e della tecnologia mineraria sulla varietà di nazionalità e razze coinvolte nell'industria mineraria e sulla crescita di città come San Francisco e Sacramento. Con numerose immagini pubblicate per la prima volta questo libro offre uno sguardo straordinario sulla trasformazione dell'Ovest americano. Yale University Press, hardcover

1849réf. 42915New York: John James Audubon 1849. First edition hand-colored lithograph by John T. Bowen of Philadelphia after John James Audubon. An iconic image of Western Americana from the folio first edition of Audubon's "Quadrupeds of North America" the greatest work of natural history illustration produced in America during the nineteenth century: "As long as our civilization lasts America will be in debt to this genius." Peterson This fine plate is from the folio edition of Audubon's The Viviparous Quadrupeds of North America which was produced entirely in the United States. The work was Audubon's last and by 1846 he had to hand over the drawing of the final fifty plates to his sons John Woodhouse and Victor Audubon. The production of the Quadrupeds was begun by Audubon and his sons at about the same time as the commercially-successful octavo edition of The Birds of America. Unlike the double-elephant folio the Quadrupeds was produced entirely in the United States. Reese notes that "By 1843 the Audubon family business was a well-oiled machine involving John James his two sons and various in-laws and friends. The octavo Birds was still in production when Bowen began to produce the plates for the folio edition of the Quadrupeds the largest successful color-plate book project of 19th-century America. It took the family five years to publish 150 plates in thirty parts. The massive project was a commercial success thanks to the close management of Victor. There were about three hundred subscribers." Reese Like Birds of America the Viviparous Quadrupeds was intended to be a comprehensive visual catalog of North America animalia with Audubon's focus here shifting from birds to four-legged land mammals. Accompanying each image was correlating didactic text written primarily by Bachman that informed the reader of the animal's habits diet habitat and gestational period. Totaling 150 prints the project was rushed to completion as Audubon's health declined. Emerging in the shadow of its acclaimed predecessor Birds of America the Viviparous Quadrupeds has not received the adequate attention nor recognition it so richly deserves. This image is of a family of American buffalo the most iconic animal indigenous to North America whose presence was integral for Native American life and whose near-extinction spurred on the conservation movement in the US. The buffalo is today the state animal of Kansas Oklahoma and Wyoming. Bennett p.5. Peterson Birds of America passim. Reese Stamped with a National Character 36. Sabin 2367. Wood p.209.

1849réf. 4369New York:: V.G. Audubon 1849-54. First Royal Octavo Edition. Fine with original hand-coloring. A fine original hand-colored lithograph on paper. Royal Octavo 10.5 x 7 inches. Drawn from nature by John Audubon drawn on stone by William E. Hitchcock and lithographed printed and colored by JT Bowen Philadelphia. Accompanied by the original text written by the Reverend John Bachman DD. The Quadrupeds of North America; portrayals of 155 four-legged mammals native to North America depicted in their natural environment was a collaborative effort between the premier nineteenth century American Ornithologist Naturalist Artist and Frontiersman John James Audubon 1785-1851 his sons John Woodhouse Audubon and Victor Gifford Audubon and the naturalist Reverend John Bachman. The four men were unified in their desire to document and portray what they recognized as a dwindling resource; America's native animals amidst the natural beauty of the untouched American landscape. Their collective wisdom predicted the impending effects of Manifest Destiny- man's encroachment on the wilderness and natural landscape of North America- and as such was the impetus for the journey. To document and then portray America's native animals in the splendor and majesty of the uninhabited North American landscape the team traveled westward from Audubon's home in Mill Grove Pennsylvania up the Missouri River and through territory just previously explored by Lewis and Clark; from the Canadian border of the Northern Russian Territories- now Alaska- then southward to Mexico. Arduous and monumental the journey is recognized in the pathos of the compositions. However the true legacy of the work rests on John James Audubon's prolific vision and mastery of his subject and medium. Heretofore unseen The Quadrupeds of North American is a wildlife classic: an essential and timeless contribution to both Early American culture and the Art of American Wildlife Painting. The American Review a Whig journal heralded the national origin of the Quadrupeds: "We have at last have a Great National Work; originated and completed among us- authors artists and artisans of which are our own citizens the Bible of Nature!"
