John James Audubon1785-1851 Audubon's son, John Woodhouse Audubon (1812-1862), began publication of a chromolithograph edition of The Birds of America in 1859. Only one volume was completed, however, before the Civil War intervened and the project ended. This is a print of the Rathbone warbler as it appeared in John Woodhouse Audubon's chromolithographic edition. The Rathbone warbler was later identified as an immature yellow warbler, not a new species as Audubon thought. The manuscript is Audubon's own hand, describing the warbler.
