EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph depicts a family of Bonaparte's Gulls (Chroicocephalus philadelphia) in their distinctive plumage. The male gull, featured prominently in the foreground, displays his black hood and yellow bill, which contrast sharply with his white body and wings. Two females and a young gull are also present in the image, adding to the vibrant display of colors. Bonaparte's Gulls are a species of tern, also known as Sternula antillarum, and are native to the eastern coast of North America. This illustration is a faithful representation of the gulls' appearance during the spring and fall seasons, as depicted in John James Audubon's ornithological work, "Report on the Birds of Pennsylvania," published by E.K. Mayers in Harrisburg in 1890. Audubon, a renowned naturalist and artist, is celebrated for his meticulous observations and detailed illustrations of American birds. This chromolithograph, created from his original ornithological illustration, showcases the beauty and intricacy of the Bonaparte's Gulls' plumage and provides a glimpse into the natural history of these fascinating birds during the 19th century in the United States.
