This 19th-century lithograph, titled "Redwinged Starling or Marsh Blackbird, Icterus Phoeniceus" is a remarkable piece of natural history captured by the renowned ornithologist and artist John J. Audubon. Published between 1827 and 1838 as part of his iconic work "The Birds of America" this print showcases Audubon's meticulous attention to detail and artistic prowess.
