"Viviparous Quadrupeds of North America" is a significant work by the renowned naturalist and painter John James Audubon, created in collaboration with the Reverend John Bachman. Published between 1845 and 1848, this ambitious project aimed to document and illustrate the mammalian wildlife of North America with the same meticulous detail and artistic flair that Audubon had previously applied to his celebrated "Birds of America." The work consists of 150 hand-colored lithographic plates, each depicting a different species of quadruped, accompanied by detailed scientific descriptions and observations.

Audubon, who is best known for his ornithological studies, embarked on this project later in his career, driven by a desire to expand his contributions to natural history. He traveled extensively across the United States, from the Eastern seaboard to the Rocky Mountains, to observe and sketch animals in their natural habitats. His fieldwork was complemented by the scholarly input of Bachman, a Lutheran minister and naturalist, who provided the scientific descriptions and classifications for the species depicted.

The illustrations in "Viviparous Quadrupeds of North America" are notable for their lifelike quality and attention to detail, capturing the essence of each animal in its natural environment. The plates were produced using the lithographic process, a relatively new printing technique at the time, which allowed for greater precision and color fidelity compared to earlier methods. The collaboration between Audubon and Bachman resulted in a comprehensive and visually stunning record of North America's mammalian fauna, which remains a valuable resource for both scientists and art historians.

Despite its initial success, "Viviparous Quadrupeds of North America" did not achieve the same level of fame as Audubon's bird studies. However, it remains an important work in the history of natural history illustration and a testament to Audubon's enduring legacy as a pioneering figure in American art and science.
