EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored aquatint print, Plate 164 from John James Audubon's seminal work "Birds of America" (1831-34), showcases the Veery, Catharus fuscescens, a small, cryptic bird belonging to the thrush family. The Veery is depicted perched on a branch, surrounded by a lush, floral backdrop of Cornus canadensis, or Bunchberry, a flowering plant from the Cornales order and the Cornaceae family. The Veery's intricately detailed plumage is beautifully rendered in shades of brown and gray, while the vibrant red berries of the Bunchberry add a splash of color to the scene. The Veery is an eudicot, a type of angiosperm, and is part of the Asterid clade. This means that it is a flowering plant with two embryonic seed leaves, or cotyledons, and its flowers have both stamens and pistils. The Veery is an important food source for various wildlife, including bears, and is known for its distinctive, melodic song, which can be heard during the daytime hours. The Veery's habitat includes deciduous and mixed forests, and it is often found near water. The Bunchberry, on the other hand, is a common understory plant in the northern hemisphere, and its berries are an important food source for many animals, including birds, bears, and moose. This exquisite print, engraved, printed, and hand-colored by R. Havell & Son in London, is a testament to the natural beauty and intricacy of the natural world, as captured by one of the greatest naturalists of all time, John James Audubon.
