EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph depicts a vibrant assembly of Ruddy Ducks (Oxyura jamaicensis) in their distinctive plumage. The image features three individuals: two male Ruddy Ducks with their distinctive red bills and ruff-like feathers around their necks, and one female with a more muted coloration. This enchanting illustration is an exquisite reproduction of an original ornithological work by the renowned naturalist, John James Audubon. The illustration was originally published in Benjamin Harry Warren's Report on the Birds of Pennsylvania, printed by E.K. Mayers in Harrisburg in 1890. This 19th-century masterpiece showcases the intricate details and vivid colors that characterized the chromolithograph process, which involved the transfer of an image from a stone plate to paper using multiple color inks. The Ruddy Duck, a native of North and Central America, is a small, dabbling duck with a distinctive appearance and distinctive call. The males are easily recognized by their bright red bills, chestnut-brown backs, and white underparts. The females, on the other hand, have a more subdued appearance, with a grayish-brown back and a white underbelly. This image offers a glimpse into the rich natural history of the United States and the remarkable artistry of the 19th century.
