EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts a male and female Reed-bird, or Bobolink (Dolichonyx oryzivorus), in their natural habitat. The male, with his vibrant yellow and black plumage, stands proudly atop a reed, while the female, with her brown and white stripes, sits nearby on the ground, tending to her nest. The Reed-bird, also known as the Eastern Meadowlark or the Bobolink Meadowlark, is a migratory bird species native to North America. They are commonly found in wetland areas, marshes, and meadows, and are known for their distinctive, melodic song. This beautiful illustration is a chromolithograph, a printing technique that uses multiple lithographic stones, each for a different color. It was created from an original ornithological drawing by the renowned naturalist and artist, John James Audubon. The illustration was published in Benjamin Harry Warren's Report on the Birds of Pennsylvania in 1890 by E.K. Mayers in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. The 19th century was an exciting time for ornithology in the United States, with many naturalists and artists documenting the diverse bird species of the country. Audubon's work, in particular, is celebrated for its meticulous attention to detail and its contribution to the scientific understanding of North American birds. This print is a testament to the beauty and diversity of the natural world and the importance of documenting it for future generations.
