EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts a family of Eastern Meadowlarks (Sturnella magna), a beloved bird species native to the eastern United States. The image, created as an ornithological illustration by John James Audubon, was published in Benjamin Harry Warren's Report on the Birds of Pennsylvania in 1890 by E.K. Mayers in Harrisburg. The male meadowlark, shown on the left, is easily identified by its vibrant yellow underparts, black "V" on its chest, and distinctively tall crest. The female, on the right, is more subtly colored, with a brown back, white underparts speckled with brown, and a shorter crest. Two young meadowlarks, one juvenile with a brown and white striped pattern and the other with a more mottled appearance, are nestled in the grassy nest. The Eastern Meadowlark's habitat includes open fields, meadows, and grasslands, making it a common sight in rural areas. Its distinctive song, which sounds like a combination of a lark and a robin, can be heard from early spring through late summer. This beautiful 19th-century print, which showcases the intricate details of the meadowlark family, is a testament to the artistry and scientific accuracy of Audubon's work. The use of chromolithography, a color printing technique that was popular during this time, adds to the richness and depth of the image, making it a valuable addition to any collection of natural history prints or ornithological illustrations.
