EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph depicts a stunning trio of waterfowl: a Long-tailed Duck (Clangula hyemalis), a Redhead (Aythya americana), and a Lesser Scaup (Aythya affinis). Each bird is rendered in exquisite detail, showcasing their unique features and vibrant plumage. The Long-tailed Duck, with its distinctive elongated tail and black and white plumage, is depicted in the center of the image. The Redhead, easily recognizable by the bright red head and neck of the male, is shown on the left, while the Lesser Scaup, with its brown and white speckled body and distinctive black "L" shaped marking on its side, is on the right. This beautiful illustration is an engraving after an original ornithological work by the renowned naturalist John James Audubon. The illustration was published in Benjamin Harry Warren's Report on the Birds of Pennsylvania, which was published in Harrisburg in 1890. The 19th century was a time of great exploration and discovery in the field of ornithology, and this chromolithograph is a testament to the incredible detail and accuracy that could be achieved through the combination of skilled illustration and advanced printing techniques. The Long-tailed Duck, Redhead, and Lesser Scaup are all native to the United States and Canada, and can be found in various bodies of water throughout their ranges. The Long-tailed Duck is a migratory bird, spending summers in the Arctic and winters in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. The Redhead and Lesser Scaup are both dabbling ducks, which means they feed by tipping up their bodies in the water to reach the vegetation on the bottom. This chromolithograph is a beautiful addition to any collection of natural history or ornithology, and is a reminder of the incredible diversity and beauty of the bird species that call our world home.
