“Audubon’s Aviary: Part I of the Complete Flock”
New York Historical Society, Museum
Exhibition / museum curator : Roberta J. M. Olson
Fifteen pastels from La Rochelle cross the Atlantic Ocean to be displayed in the first part of the great exhibition which will include three parts altogether (2013-14-15). Four drawings were presented next to their “duplicates” of the collections of the University of Harvard (Houghton Library). The New-York Historical Society keeps the original watercolors used to engrave the boards for the Birds of America from 1827 to 1838. They are safeguarded as National Treasure in the USA.
