EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 163 from John James Audubon's monumental work, "Birds of America," features the enchanting Palm Warbler (Dendroica palmarum), depicted in intricate detail in this hand-colored aquatint print. The vibrant orange hue of the bird's plumage is beautifully rendered, contrasting with the lush green foliage of the palm branch it perches upon. The Palm Warbler is a small, New World warbler belonging to the family Parulidae and the order Passeriformes, commonly known as the "perching birds." This illustration showcases the bird's long, curved bill and its distinctive, upwardly curved tail feathers. The Palm Warbler is an angiosperm-feeding bird, primarily consuming the seeds and fruits of various flowering plants, including those in the family Arecaaceae, such as the palm tree shown in the background. As a monocotyledon, or monocot, the Palm Warbler is part of the large group of flowering plants characterized by having a single seed leaf (cotyledon) and parallel venation in their leaves. Audubon's masterful illustration captures the Palm Warbler in its natural habitat, likely during daytime hours. The commelinid family, to which the Palm Warbler belongs, is named after the 18th-century botanist Albrecht von Haller, who coined the term "commelinid" to describe a group of monocotyledonous flowering plants. The Palm Warbler's presence in this illustration highlights the intricate connections between the avian world and the diverse array of angiosperms that populate our planet. Engraved, printed, and hand-colored by R. Havell & Son in London, this stunning print is a testament to the artistry and scientific accuracy of John James Audubon's groundbreaking work.
