EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning illustration is Plate 127 from "The Viviparous Quadrupeds of North America," Volume 3, published in 1848 by renowned naturalists John James Audubon and John Bachman. The illustration depicts a male and female American black bear (Ursus americanus) in their natural forest habitat. The male bear, with its impressive size and muscular build, is shown in a hollow, likely used as a den, while the female, with her smaller frame and agile appearance, is shown foraging in the lush vegetation. The forest surrounding the bears is teeming with life, with various angiosperms, or flowering plants, visible in the scene. One such plant is Cinnamomum, a dicotyledon, or dicot, which is known for its aromatic bark and is still used today for medicinal and culinary purposes. The American black bear is a member of the Carnivora order, but its diet is varied and includes a wide range of plant materials, making it an omnivore. This illustration captures the bears in their daytime habitat, showcasing the beauty and diversity of North American wildlife during the 19th century. John James Audubon and John Bachman were pioneers in the field of natural history, and their detailed and accurate illustrations of North American animals continue to be celebrated and studied today. This particular plate, with its exquisite attention to detail and lifelike representation of the American black bear, is a testament to their dedication and expertise.
