EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts a male Northern Harrier, Circus hudsonius, also known as a Marsh Hawk, in its natural habitat. The male harrier is shown with its distinctive ear tufts and gray-brown plumage, gazing intently into the distance. In the background, a female harrier is captured in the moment of catching her prey - a rat - with her sharp, curved beak. The intricate details of the feathers and the lifelike expressions on the birds' faces are a testament to the exceptional ornithological illustration by John James Audubon. This image is taken from Benjamin Harry Warren's Report on the Birds of Pennsylvania, published in Harrisburg in 1890. The 19th century chromolithograph, which combines the techniques of lithography and chromatography, showcases the beauty and grace of these birds of prey, providing a window into the natural world of the United States during this time.
