EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunningly intricate illustration showcases the vibrant beauty of the Cape May Warbler (Dendroica tigrina), a small, migratory passerine bird belonging to the Parulidae family. The illustration is Plate 414 from John James Audubon's iconic work, "Birds of America," which was produced between 1835 and 1838. The plate was engraved, printed, and hand-colored by R. Havell (& Son) in London. The Cape May Warbler is depicted perched gracefully on a long, golden branch, its red and yellow plumage standing out against the green foliage. The bird's distinctive golden wings, which earned it its alternative name of "Golden-winged Warbler," are spread wide, adding to the overall visual impact of the illustration. The Sauropsida order, to which birds belong, is represented here in exquisite detail, showcasing the intricate feather patterns and anatomical features of this species. The illustration is a testament to the skill and artistry of the time, with each feather, vein, and texture rendered in meticulous detail. The Cape May Warbler is a beloved bird among birdwatchers and ornithologists, known for its distinctive appearance and melodic song. This illustration provides a glimpse into the natural history of this fascinating species, offering a window into the world of avian beauty and diversity that Audubon so masterfully captured in his groundbreaking work.
