Our salt and pepper shakers are vibrantly colored and meticulously reproduced from Common Cardinal Grosbeak (Plate 203), an original lithograph in the Museum’s collection.

Art History

John James Audubon (American, 1785–1851) spent years studying birds in the wild, then made 435 watercolors for The Birds of America, a lavish series of large aquatints published in Edinburgh and London between 1827 and 1838. After returning to New York, the artist worked with J. B. Chevalier of Philadelphia to create 500 hand-colored lithographs of his designs. These were published in seven octavo volumes between 1840 and 1844.
