EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 180 from John James Audubon's renowned work, "Birds of America," features the vibrant and intricately detailed illustration of a Pine Siskin (Carduelis pinus), perched on a conifer branch. This exquisite plate, hand-colored from an aquatint engraving by R. Havell (& Son) of London, was created between 1831 and 1834. The Pine Siskin, a small passerine bird belonging to the Fringillidae family and the Passeriformes order, is depicted with its distinctive yellow stripe over the eye, a short, curved beak, and a conical seed-eating cone. The bird is shown in its natural habitat, feeding on the seeds of a coniferous tree, likely a Larch (Larix), from the Coniferophyta family. The artist masterfully captured the texture of the bird's feathers, the delicate details of its beak, and the lifelike quality of its expression. The hand-coloring adds an additional layer of depth and realism to the illustration, bringing the Pine Siskin to life. This plate is a testament to the extraordinary talent and dedication of John James Audubon and the skilled craftsmanship of R. Havell (& Son). The intricate details and lifelike quality of the illustration make it a valuable addition to any collection of natural history or ornithology. The Pine Siskin, with its needle-like beak and affinity for coniferous trees, is a perfect representation of the bird's place within the Coniferae and Gymnosperm classes. This stunning illustration is a reminder of the beauty and diversity of the avian world and the importance of preserving it for future generations.
