EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning image is a hand-colored plate from John James Audubon's seminal work, "Birds of America," specifically Plate 62 featuring the Ectopistes migratorius, or Passenger Pigeon. The meticulously detailed illustration was created between 1827 and 1830, with the engraving and printing carried out by R. Havell (& Son) in London. The Passenger Pigeon, a member of the Columbidae family and the order Sauropsida, was once the most abundant bird species in North America, with an estimated population of several billion. This print captures a pair of these birds perched on a branch, their iridescent blue-green feathers a striking contrast against the muted tones of the background. One bird is in the act of feeding, its beak delicately plucking seeds from a branch, while the other looks on with a curious expression. The Passenger Pigeon was named for its habit of traveling in large flocks, with some reports suggesting that these migratory birds could form flocks numbering in the billions. Sadly, due to overhunting and habitat loss, the Passenger Pigeon was driven to extinction in the wild in the early 20th century. Today, efforts are underway to preserve the memory of this once-abundant species through conservation efforts and educational programs. This beautiful and historically significant print is a testament to the artistry and natural history expertise of John James Audubon and the team at R. Havell (& Son). It serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving the natural world and the role that art and science can play in documenting and celebrating the diversity of life on our planet.
