EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print showcases two stunning parakeet species, Psittacula lineola and Brotogeris aurifrons. Created by the talented artist J. T. Bowen in 1850, this artwork is a true testament to his skill and attention to detail. The Linoleated Parakeet (Psittacula lineola) and Golden-fronted Parakeet (Brotogeris aurifrons) are beautifully depicted perched on a branch, their vibrant colors contrasting against the lush green foliage. These taxonomic names were assigned by John Cassin, an esteemed American ornithologist who headed the bird department at the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia. Originally published in the Journal of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia's second series, these prints were meticulously hand-colored for added realism. The bound volumes containing these illustrations have become treasured artifacts within natural history collections. The Linoleated Parakeet is known for its striking blue plumage and distinctive red beak. Meanwhile, the Golden-fronted Parakeet boasts a brilliant yellow forehead that gives it its name. Both species exude elegance and charm as they perch gracefully on their chosen branch. This lithograph print not only captures the beauty of these avian creatures but also serves as a valuable historical record in ornithology. Preserved within the Free Library of Philadelphia's Print and Picture Collection - Jackson Collection of American Lithographs, this artwork continues to inspire awe and admiration for nature's wonders.
