"Swift Fox, plate 52 from 'Quadrupeds of North America' by John Woodhouse Audubon, is a notable illustration from the mid-19th century that captures the essence of the swift fox, a small and agile canid native to the Great Plains of North America. This work is part of a larger series created by John Woodhouse Audubon, the son of the renowned ornithologist and painter John James Audubon. The series, 'Quadrupeds of North America,' was a collaborative effort between John Woodhouse Audubon and his brother Victor Gifford Audubon, and it aimed to document and illustrate the diverse mammalian fauna of the continent.

The illustration of the swift fox is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail and lifelike representation, hallmarks of the Audubon family's artistic legacy. The swift fox is depicted in a naturalistic setting, showcasing its slender body, large ears, and bushy tail, which are key identifying features of the species. The background of the plate often includes elements of the fox's natural habitat, such as open prairies and grasslands, providing context and enhancing the realism of the scene.

John Woodhouse Audubon’s work on 'Quadrupeds of North America' was significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its contribution to the scientific understanding of North American wildlife during the 19th century. The illustrations were based on extensive field observations and specimens, making them valuable resources for both contemporary and future naturalists. The series was published in three volumes between 1849 and 1854, with the plates being produced using the lithographic process, which allowed for greater detail and color fidelity compared to earlier engraving techniques.

'Swift Fox, plate 52' remains an important piece within the collection, reflecting the intersection of art and science during a period of burgeoning interest in the natural world. It continues to be appreciated for its historical significance and its role in the broader context of wildlife illustration and conservation."
