Bowen and published in Philadelphia from 1849-1854. It depicts an American Badger lying in a crouched position, facing to the left, demonstrating its long claws and teeth. A body of water is in the distance on the left, with hills and mountains in the background. This antique hand-colored Audubon quadruped lithograph has mild discoloration in the right margin and a few small faint spots at the edge of the lower margin. It is otherwise in very good condition. The sheet measures 6.88" high and 10.25" wide. The descriptive text pages, 361-369, from Audubon's original publication are included.
