Pileatus Woodpecker - A Naturalist's Excursion in Wisconsin,
EDITORS COMMENTS
is an intriguing and captivating black and white print from the 1870s, showcasing the distinctive features of the Pileated Woodpecker. This image is taken from "Illustrated Travels" by Henry Walter Bates, published by Cassell, Petter, and Galpin in London and New York around 1880. The print displays the Pileated Woodpecker in its natural habitat, with lush greenery and trees surrounding the bird. The Pileated Woodpecker, with its large size and striking red crest, is the largest woodpecker in North America. Its name, "pileatus," comes from the Latin word for "pileus," meaning "mushroom cap," referring to its distinctive crest. The print is an excellent representation of the naturalist's fascination with the wonders of the natural world during the 19th century. The image was likely produced during a time when natural history was a popular pursuit, and collecting specimens and documenting new discoveries was a source of great excitement. The print was created by an unknown artist, but it is believed to be based on observations and sketches made by naturalists such as Philip Sclater. Sclater was a prominent ornithologist and zoologist who made significant contributions to the scientific understanding of birds during the late 1800s. Today, this print serves as a reminder of the rich history of natural history exploration and documentation. It also highlights the beauty and intrigue of the natural world, inspiring a sense of wonder and appreciation for the natural world around us. The Pileated Woodpecker remains a beloved and iconic species, and this print is a testament to its enduring allure.
