EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored aquatint print showcases the Connecticut Warbler, Oporornis agilis, from Plate 138 of John James Audubon's seminal work, "Birds of America" (1831-34). Engraved, printed, and hand-colored by R. Havell (& Son) of London, this exquisite illustration captures the vibrant plumage and intricate details of this elusive New England bird. The Connecticut Warbler, a member of the wood-warbler family (Parulidae), is depicted perched gracefully amidst a lush arrangement of Gentianaceae and Caryophyllaceae flowers. These flowering plants, native to North America, are represented in beautiful detail, adding a splash of color and context to the illustration. As an eudicot, angiosperm, and member of the Magnoliophyta division, the Connecticut Warbler is part of the diverse group of flowering plants that dominates the Earth's vegetation. The Aves order, to which the Connecticut Warbler belongs, is characterized by the presence of feathers, a beaked skull, and a high metabolic rate. This illustration offers a glimpse into the natural history of the Connecticut Warbler and the rich biodiversity of North America during the early 19th century. With its meticulous attention to detail and breathtaking coloration, this print remains a testament to the enduring legacy of Audubon's groundbreaking work.
