EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts a male and female Solitary Sandpiper (Tringa solitaria), an intriguing wading bird native to North America. The image is based on an ornithological illustration by the renowned naturalist John James Audubon, as featured in Benjamin Harry Warren's Report on the Birds of Pennsylvania, published in 1890 by E.K. Mayer in Harrisburg. The Solitary Sandpiper is aptly named for its preference to forage alone, often in wooded areas near water. The male, as shown in this print, is characterized by its olive-backed body, black and white striped wings, and orange-red legs. The female, shown in the background, is more subtly colored with a brownish-gray back and white underparts. This 19th-century print is a beautiful example of the intricate detail and artistry that characterized ornithological illustrations of the time. The Solitary Sandpiper was one of many birds meticulously documented and depicted by Audubon and other naturalists during the era of American ornithology. The print's rich colors and textures bring the birds to life, providing a window into the natural world of over a century ago.
