Audubon Keep It Box
SKU: 0-7353-0703-2
PRICE: $14.00
As a young man, John James Audubon ran a general store on the frontier, taught dancing to children on plantations, and was commissioned to a paint nude portrait of a French officer's mistress. In his spare time, he tramped around procuring birds for his studies. Lucy Audubon, his impoverished widow, sold his original watercolors of to the New York-Historical Society, and a rotating selection of the paintings are exhibited each year.
Spring migration brings some of these birds to Central Park, just across the street from where the paintings are exhibited. The cover image shows a Magnolia warbler painted in 1829. Other notecards in the box: Gray kingbird, painted in 1832, Blue-winged warbler from 1822, and from 1833.
These cards are wonderful all-purpose cards, and you don't have to know a Blackburnian from a Prothonotary to enjoy them!
