A color lithograph with my Cooper's Hawk and Blue Jays.
STUDER'S BIRDS OF NORTH AMERICA
Leather Binding with embossed gilt cover and a detached spine.
Title Page dated 1878
This book was rather a poor man's Audubon's Birds of America because the birds were not hand-colored but printed in color thanks to the invention of chromolithography.
