EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored aquatint print, Plate 20 from John James Audubon's seminal work "Birds of America" (1827-30), showcases the exquisite detail and artistry of the blue-winged warbler, Vermivora pinus. The bird is depicted perched gracefully on a branch, its vibrant blue wings spread wide, contrasting beautifully with the lush, green foliage and delicate flowers of the hibiscus syriacus in the background. Audubon's masterpiece, which was engraved, printed, and hand-colored by R. Havell (& Son) in London, is considered a landmark in the history of natural history illustration. The work showcases the birds of North America in their natural habitats, providing an accurate and detailed record of their appearance and behavior. The blue-winged warbler is a small, migratory bird belonging to the family Parulidae and the order Passeriformes. It is an eudicot, a type of angiosperm that produces flowers and seeds enclosed in an ovary. The hibiscus syriacus, or rose of Sharon, is a flowering plant in the Malvaceae family, which is part of the order Malvales. The plant is native to the Mediterranean region but is now widely cultivated as an ornamental plant in many parts of the world. The intricate details of the bird's plumage and the delicate shading of the hibiscus flowers are a testament to the skill and artistry of the engravers, printers, and colorists who worked on Audubon's project. The use of aquatint, a printing technique that allows for tonal gradations and shading, further enhances the realism and beauty of the image. This print not only serves as a record of the natural world but also as a work of art that continues to captivate and inspire viewers more than two centuries after its creation.
