Audubon Gift

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

One of Audubon's three largest and finest canvases, an oil painting of "Black Cocks" on a grouse moor, has just been presented to the University Museum by Mr. John Eliot Thayer '85, of Lancaster, Massachusetts. Mr. Thayer has recently given the University Museum his great collection of birds' eggs and nests.

The painting was done by the great American naturalist in 1827 while he was on a visit to Scotland. It was painted for a Scottish nobleman whose family sold it some years ago to Mr. Thayer. The canvas is about six by nine feet, and has the qualities of an eighteenth century landscape.
