EDITORS COMMENTS
Parus bicolor, commonly known as the Tufted Titmouse, is depicted in this stunning hand-coloured aquatint plate from John James Audubon's "Birds of America." Plate 39 showcases the eastern passerine bird in its natural habitat, perched gracefully on a conifer branch. The Tufted Titmouse is a small, long-tailed bird with distinctive crest feathers, making it easily recognizable among its avian counterparts. This species is a member of the Paridae family, also known as the titmice and titmice allies. The Tufted Titmouse is a common bird found in the coniferous forests of North America. In this illustration, the bird is shown with a cone in its beak, highlighting its omnivorous diet, which includes seeds, insects, and fruits. The intricate detail of the feathers, the lifelike expression on the bird's face, and the realistic representation of the coniferous foliage make this plate a masterpiece of natural history art. The plate was engraved, printed, and hand-coloured by R. Havell & Son in London between 1827 and 1830. The double elephant folio size of the original print is impressive, measuring 39 1/2 inches by 29 inches. This plate is an excellent example of the high-quality production values of Audubon's seminal work, which documented over 435 North American bird species. The illustration is a testament to the beauty and diversity of the avian world and the importance of preserving natural habitats for future generations.
