A Photograph of Audubon. 



To THE Editors of 'The Aik ' : — 



Dear Sirs: — The interesting communication in the October (1894) 

 number of ' Tlie Auk' on 'The Last Portrait of Audubon,' brings to mind 

 a picture of the celebrated naturalist which has been in my possession 

 many years. It is a small photograph and was taken apparently from 

 the daguerreotype referred to by Dr. Shufeldt and Miss Audubon. The 

 face is exactly like the one reproduced in the magazine. 



I purchased the picture from the Messrs. Anthony, the publishers, 

 about 1863. as near as I can remember. On the back of the card is the 

 following: —

A letter to E. & II. T. Anthony i: Co., regarding this published portrait, 

 brought the following reply under date Nov. 23, 1894: "We regret that 

 we cannot trace the date of the photo., but all who were connected with 

 that department have either left or died, and we have no means of finding 

 the information you desire. " 



Very respectfully-,
