EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts an adult Bald Eagle, Haliaeetus leucocephalus, in the act of prey capture with a rabbit in its talons. The eagle's powerful, hooked beak and sharp, yellow eyes are focused intently on its quarry. This image is an ornithological illustration by John James Audubon, taken from Benjamin Harry Warren's Report on the Birds of Pennsylvania, published in Harrisburg in 1890. The Bald Eagle, a symbol of the United States, is a magnificent bird of prey native to North America. With a wingspan of up to 7 feet and a body length of 28-40 inches, it is a formidable predator, preying on a variety of animals including fish, waterfowl, and mammals. The Bald Eagle's plumage is predominantly brown with white head and tail feathers, making it easily recognizable. This 19th-century lithograph, produced by the E.K. Mayer company, captures the beauty and majesty of this iconic bird in intricate detail. The inclusion of the rabbit prey adds to the dynamic and captivating nature of the image, highlighting the eagle's role as a top predator in its ecosystem.
