EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph depicts a vibrant and intricately detailed representation of an American Robin family, with a male bird perched on a tree branch, two females nestled in the shrubs below, and a young chick peeking out from the safety of its nest. The image is an ornithological masterpiece, derived from an original illustration by the renowned naturalist John James Audubon. The artwork was published in Benjamin Harry Warren's comprehensive Report on the Birds of Pennsylvania, which was released in 1890 by E.K. Mayers in Harrisburg. The American Robin, scientifically known as Turdus migratorius, is a beloved bird species native to North America. Known for their distinctive red breast, these birds are commonly found in gardens and woodlands throughout the United States and Canada. In this stunning 19th-century illustration, the male American Robin is depicted in full plumage, with its bright red breast and orange-yellow beak contrasting against the muted tones of the surrounding foliage. The females, on the other hand, exhibit more subdued colors, with their brownish-gray backs and reddish-brown breasts. The young chick, still in its downy feathers, is nestled safely in the protective cover of the nest, which is skillfully rendered in the background of the image. The intricately detailed illustration showcases the meticulous attention to detail that was characteristic of ornithological works during this period. The use of chromolithography, a printing technique that allowed for the production of richly colored images, further enhances the visual impact of this artwork.
