EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts a male Cedar Waxwing (Bombycilla cedrorum) perched on a branch, surrounded by two female Cedar Waxwings. The vibrant colors of the birds are beautifully rendered in this 19th century print, which is based on an ornithological illustration by John James Audubon. The male Cedar Waxwing is easily identified by its distinctive red eye and yellow wing tips, while the females have a more muted coloration with olive-brown backs and yellow underparts. In the background, a spider web adds a delicate touch to the scene. The Cedar Waxwing is a native bird of North America, and was first described by ornithologist Benjamin Harry Warren in his Report on the Birds of Pennsylvania, published in 1890 by E.K. Mayers in Harrisburg. This print is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and artistic skill of the time, capturing the essence of these fascinating birds and their natural habitat. The use of chromolithography, a printing technique that involves the transfer of an image from a lithographic stone to a plate coated with chromium oxide, allowed for the rich colors and intricate details to be reproduced with great accuracy and depth.
