Lives of Great People of the Occident (Taisei ijin den): John James Audobon, (1785-1851)

Colorful woodblock print with a beige background. A man on one knee faces left; he wears a brown coat and hat, red shirt, blue pants and blue ascot. The man peers into a large, open wooden box beside him filled with birds. A brown table with a woven stool sits behind him to the right; on top of the table is a white and gray bird. A pink curtain partially covers a blue-windowed wall. The artwork’s left side features a column of black foreign script.
