EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 19" of Mark Catesby's seminal work, "The Natural History of Carolina, Florida and the Bahama Islands" (1731-43), features a stunning hand-colored etching of two intriguing birds: the Red-bellied Woodpecker (Melanerpes carolinus) and the Hairy Woodpecker (Picoides villosus). Catesby's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the vivid representation of these birds, with the Red-bellied Woodpecker displaying its distinctive red belly, black and white striped back, and the distinctive red cap adorning its head. The Hairy Woodpecker, on the other hand, is depicted with its black and white striped body, a prominent white patch on its back, and the distinctive tufts of white feathers on the nape of its neck. The Red-bellied Woodpecker is a native of the eastern United States and can be found in forests and woodlands, feeding primarily on insects and acorns. The tree in the background of the etching suggests the woodland habitat these birds inhabit. The acorn, a common food source for these birds, is depicted at the bottom left corner of the plate, with the label "Fagaceae" indicating its affiliation with the beech family of flowering plants. The Hairy Woodpecker, also a resident of North America, can be found in various wooded habitats, from forests to suburban areas. It is an omnivorous bird, feeding on insects, fruits, and nuts. The tree in the background of the etching, with its leaves and flowers, is labeled as a "Fagales," indicating its membership in the larger order of flowering plants that includes the beech family. Catesby's anatomically accurate and beautifully detailed illustrations of these birds, as well as his meticulous labeling of their habitats and food sources, provide valuable insights into the natural history of these fascinating creatures and the ecosystems they inhabit. This plate is a testament to Catesby's dedication to documenting the natural world and his artistic mastery of the etching technique.
