EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored aquatint print of the Common Yellowthroat (Geothlypis trichas) is Plate 24 from John James Audubon's iconic work, "Birds of America" (1827-30). The print was engraved, printed, and hand-colored by R. Havell & Son in London. The Common Yellowthroat is a small, vibrant bird belonging to the Parulidae family, known for its distinctive yellow throat and chest, black mask, and olive-green back. The Common Yellowthroat is depicted perched on an oak branch, surrounded by various acorns and leaves of the Fagaceae family, which includes oak trees. This plant family is an order of angiosperms, flowering plants that produce seeds enclosed in a fruit or ovary. The Common Yellowthroat is an eudicot, a type of dicotyledon, which means it has two seed leaves and two cotyledons. The Common Yellowthroat is a passerine bird, meaning it belongs to the order Passeriformes, which includes perching birds. This order is also known as the "passerine" or "perching" birds because of their ability to perch on branches and other structures. The Common Yellowthroat is a migratory bird, traveling between North and South America, and is commonly found in wetlands and marshy areas. Audubon's meticulous attention to detail is evident in this beautiful print, which captures the intricacies of the Common Yellowthroat's plumage and the textures of the oak leaves and acorns. The use of hand-coloring adds an additional layer of depth and richness to the print, making it a true work of art. This print is a testament to Audubon's dedication to documenting the natural world and to the beauty and diversity of the birds of North America.
