EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 434 from John James Audubon's iconic work, "Birds of America," showcases a captivating assembly of four passerine birds: Contopus sordidulus (Eastern Phoebe), Sayornis nigricans (Eastern Phoebe or Black Phoebe), Vireo olivaceus (Olive-sided Flycatcher), and Empidonax minimus (Least Flycatcher). Each bird is intricately illustrated in hand-coloured aquatint, with expert attention to detail that brings out the unique anatomical features and vibrant plumage of these avian species. The Eastern Phoebe (Contopus sordidulus) is depicted perched on a branch, its beak slightly open as if in song. Its distinctive eyestripe and rust-colored belly contrast sharply with its dark back and wings. The Black Phoebe (Sayornis nigricans) is shown with its wings spread wide, revealing the white underparts and black tail. The Olive-sided Flycatcher (Vireo olivaceus) is illustrated in mid-flight, with its long, pointed wings and distinctive eye ring. The Least Flycatcher (Empidonax minimus) completes the scene, perched on a branch with its olive-green back and yellow underparts. This stunning illustration, engraved, printed, and coloured by R. Havell (& Son) in London, is a testament to the artistry and scientific precision of Audubon's work. The birds are depicted with a lifelike quality that invites the viewer to appreciate their beauty and intricacy. The detailed anatomy, coupled with the vibrant colours, makes this plate a must-have for ornithologists, naturalists, and art enthusiasts alike.
