Audubon Aquatint, Canvas backed Duck, Plate 301 [With View of Baltimore

AUDUBON, John James (1785 - 1851). Canvas backed Duck, Plate 301 [With View of Baltimore, Maryland in the background]. Aquatint engraving with original hand color. London: Robert Havell, 1827-1838. 26 3/8” x 39” sheet, 38 1/2” x 51” framed. Comparables: Christie's, 2004 - $71,700; Sotheby's, 2007 - $52,000. One of the three compositional masterpieces showing a major American city in the background - Ronald Reagan collected all three of them from me while he was President - Graham Arader "...This enhancement of its value I look upon as leaving arisen from the preference given to it by the epicures of our Middle Districts, who have strangely lauded it as superior to every other Duck in the world. This alleged preeminence has indeed become so deeply impressed on the minds of many of our Southerns, that they have on various occasions procured the transportation of numbers of Canvass-backs from Baltimore to Charleston in South Carolina, and even to Savannah in Georgia, although this species is by no means uncommon within a few miles of the latter city, as well as on the Great Santee river. I well remember that on my pointing out to a friend, now alas dead, several dozens of these birds in the market of Savannah, he would scarcely believe that I was not mistaken, and assured me that they were looked upon as being poor, dry, and very fishy, in short not half so good as Mallards, or Blue-winged Teals. With this I cordially agreed, for there, at that season, they are not better than represented." - (Audubon's Ornithological Biography, 1831).
