EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning chromolithograph depicts the Upland Sandpiper, Bartramia longicauda, a distinctive bird species native to the grasslands of North and South America. The image is an ornithological illustration created by the renowned naturalist and artist, John James Audubon, based on his observations during the early 19th century. The print was published in Benjamin Harry Warren's Report on the Birds of Pennsylvania in 1890 by E.K. Mayers in Harrisburg. The Upland Sandpiper is easily recognizable with its long, downward-pointing bill, which it uses to probe the ground for food, and its distinctive "whinnying" call. In this illustration, the bird is depicted standing on a grassy bank, its long, slender legs blending seamlessly into the surrounding vegetation. The background features a Great Blue Heron, Ardea herodias, standing in a marshy area, adding an interesting contrast to the Upland Sandpiper. The intricate details and vibrant colors of this chromolithograph are a testament to the skill and artistry of the time. The use of multiple colors, achieved through the lithographic process, brings the image to life and highlights the unique features of the Upland Sandpiper. This print is an essential addition to any collection of ornithological illustrations or for those with an interest in the natural history of the United States during the 19th century.
