EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases two stunning bird species, the Black-headed Bee-eater (Meropogon breweri) and the Blue-headed Bee-eater (Meropiscus Mulleri). Lithographed by J. T. Bowen in 1850, this artwork measures 23x18.625 cm and is housed in the Free Library of Philadelphia. Originally featured in the Journal of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia's second series, these prints were meticulously hand-colored when bound together. The taxonomic names assigned to these birds were provided by John Cassin, a renowned American ornithologist who led the bird department at the Academy of Natural Sciences and collaborated with J. T. Bowen lithographic establishment. The image captures both bee eaters perched on branches, allowing us to study their distinct features up close. The Black-headed Bee-eater exhibits its striking black head while gracefully resting on a branch, showcasing its vibrant plumage against a natural backdrop. Meanwhile, its counterpart, the Blue-headed Bee-eater, displays its beautiful blue head as it confidently perches nearby. This lithograph not only serves as an artistic masterpiece but also provides valuable insights into avian biodiversity during that era. Its inclusion in the Jackson Collection of American Lithographs at eFree Library of Philadelphia's Print and Picture Collection further highlights its significance within American art history. With intricate details and exquisite coloring techniques employed by J. T. Bowen, this print immortalizes these magnificent bird species for generations to appreciate their beauty and contribute to our understanding of nature's wonders.
