Antique Print ~ 1858
Purple Grackle, or Common Crow Blackbird by J.J. Audubon

This is an antique print of "Purple Grackle" drawn from nature by the famous artist J.J. Audubon. The image was reproduced in chromalithy in 1858 by J. Bien. A total of 105 were originally produced.

According to Bill Steiner, "Audubon Art Prints, A Collector's Guide to Every Edition," it's likely that there are less than 30 loose prints of any single image printed by Bien in existence today, but there is no way to determine an exact figure.
A light, sky-blue background "tint" was added to many of the Bien images which can also be seen in the photos of this print.
This is an original print that has not been trimmed. The frame is 60 years old.
