 About Audubon
John James Audubon (1785-1851) was not the first person to attempt to paint and describe all the birds of America (Alexander Wilson has that distinction), but for half a century he was the young country’s dominant wildlife artist.
His seminal Birds of America, a collection of 435 life-size prints, quickly eclipsed Wilson’s work and is still a standard against which 20th and 21st century bird artists, such as Roger Tory Peterson and David Sibley, are measured.
The last print was issued in 1838, by which time Audubon had achieved fame and a modest degree of comfort, traveled this country several more times in search of birds, and settled in New York City.

 About minniesland.com
Minnie's Land, or Minniesland, was the name of the New York estate that John James Audubon and his wife, Lucy Bakewell Audubon, built for themselves with the funds they were realizing from subscription sales of Audubon's octavo edition of The Birds of America.
The last decade of the family's residence was marked by frequent tragedy, including the long illness and death of John James in 1851, and the early deaths of Victor Gifford Audubon in 1860 and John Woodhouse Audubon in 1862.
In 1863, Lucy was forced to sell the property in order to satisfy family debts and to help support the families of her sons.
