Golden Eagle (Plate 181)
John James Audubon, 1827–1838
Plate 181 of John James Audubon's The Birds of America, engraved by Robert Havell in London. A Golden Eagle rises from a mountain crag with a hare in its talons. A tiny figure crossing a log over the gorge below is often read as Audubon himself. This copy belongs to the University of Pittsburgh.
