EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph, created in 1890 by E.K. Mayers after an ornithological illustration by John James Audubon, showcases two intriguing birds of the eastern United States: the Chimney Swift (Chaetura pelagica) and the Bank Swallow (Riparia riparia). The Chimney Swift, depicted in the foreground, is a slender bird with long, curved wings and a distinctive, streamlined body. Known for their agility in flight, Chimney Swifts roost and nest in chimneys and other tall structures. In the background, a pair of Bank Swallows perch on a branch. Bank Swallows, with their distinctive, slightly upturned beaks and brown and white plumage, are a common sight near bodies of water. These birds construct their nests in the sandy banks of rivers and streams. The intricate details of the birds' plumage and anatomical features are beautifully rendered in this 19th-century illustration. The Chimney Swift's long, curved wings and the Bank Swallow's upturned beak are clearly visible, making this a valuable addition to any ornithological collection. This lithograph, with its rich colors and intricate details, offers a glimpse into the natural history of these fascinating birds. The illustration is a testament to the skill of John James Audubon and the dedication of Benjamin Harry Warren in documenting the birds of Pennsylvania during the late 19th century.
