This work is part of Audubon's ambitious project, "The Viviparous Quadrupeds of North America," which aimed to document and illustrate the diverse mammalian fauna of the continent. Published between 1845 and 1848, this collection was a collaborative effort between Audubon, his son John Woodhouse Audubon, and the Reverend John Bachman, who provided scientific descriptions.

The illustration of the Douglass Squirrel, also known as the Douglas Squirrel or Tamiasciurus douglasii, showcases Audubon's meticulous attention to detail and his dedication to capturing the essence of North American wildlife. The Douglass Squirrel is a small, tree-dwelling rodent native to the Pacific Northwest, known for its vibrant reddish-brown fur and bushy tail. Audubon's depiction of this species is both scientifically accurate and artistically compelling, reflecting his dual commitment to art and natural history.
