Nest and Eggs of the Eastern Towhee, Pipilo erythrophthalmus: A Chromolithograph Depiction of the Intimate World of this North American Woodland Bird This exquisite chromolithograph, titled "Nest and Eggs of the Eastern Towhee," showcases the intricate details of the nest and eggs of the Eastern Towhee (Pipilo erythrophthalmus). The illustration, created by Edwin Sheppard and published in Thomas George Gentry's seminal work, "Nests and Eggs of the Birds of the United States," offers a glimpse into the private lives of these fascinating birds. The Eastern Towhee, also known as the Rufous-sided Towhee or the Downy Woodpecker, is a medium-sized bird native to the eastern United States. With its distinctive rufous flanks, black and white striped back, and bright red eyes, the Eastern Towhee is a striking addition to the woodlands of North America. The chromolithograph captures the Eastern Towhee in the midst of nesting season, with a male and female pair carefully tending to their nest and eggs. The nest, built on the ground, is composed of twigs, grasses, and other plant materials, skillfully woven together to create a protective shelter for the young. The eggs, laid by the female, are oval in shape, speckled with reddish-brown spots, and measure approximately 1.5 inches long. The Eastern Towhee's intricately detailed eggs and nest are beautifully rendered in this chromolithograph, providing a captivating glimpse into the world of these woodland birds. The illustration serves as a testament to the artistry and natural history knowledge of Edwin Sheppard and Thomas George Gentry, as well as the exceptional quality of the chromolithographic printing process used by J.A. Wagenseller in the late 19th century.
