Swainson to Paris, where he is said to have 

 executed portraits of Cuvier and Redoute. 

 On August 25, a few days before starting on 

 this journey, Audubon wrote: "Mr. Parker has 

 nearly finished my portrait, which he consid- 

 ers a good one, and so do I" (Maria R. Audu- 

 bon, op. cit., vol. i, p. 303). No further men- 

 tion of this painting has been found. 



7. 1830-31. Miniature painted on ivory by Frederick 



Cruikshank, probably in London, and before 

 Audubon's return to America on August 2, 

 1831. This portrait has become well known 

 through the excellent engraving of it by C. 

 Turner, A.R.A., first published in London, 

 "Jany. 12, 1835, for the Proprietor, by Robert 

 Havell, Print-seller, 77, Oxford Street," with 

 Audubon's characteristic autograph. Good 

 copies of the original engraving have become 

 very rare. (See Frontispiece, Vol. I.) 



Miss Maria R. Audubon possesses a very faint water-color 

 sketch of the original, which, as she has recently written me, 

 "was destroyed by fire at Shelbyville, Kentucky, with many 

 other rare and valuable belongings of my grandmother's, soon 

 after her death [in 1874]." 



8. 1833. Portrait in oils by Henry Inman; half-length, 



natural size; in possession of Miss Harriet B, 

 Audubon. "Mr. Inman has painted my Por- 

 trait in Oil, and / say that it is a truer por- 

 trait of me than even the Miniature" (see 

 Chapter XXVII, p. 39). Engraved by H. B. 

 Hall for the second Octavo Edition of The 

 Birds of America, published in 1856, and the 

 same engraving has appeared in later editions 

 of The Life of John James Audubon, the 

 Naturalist, edited by Lucy Audubon; for re-
