EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph, created in 1890, showcases two intricately detailed bird species: the Winter Wren (Winter wren, Troglodytes hiemalis) and the Gray Catbird (Gray catbird, Dumetella carolinensis). The image is based on an ornithological illustration by the renowned naturalist John James Audubon, as featured in Benjamin Harry Warren's Report on the Birds of Pennsylvania. The Winter Wren, depicted on the left, is a small, brownish-gray bird with a short, rounded tail and a distinctive white eyebrow. Known as the "carolina wren" or "ludovician wren," it is the state bird of both Carolina and Louisiana. The Winter Wren is a resident of the eastern United States, thriving in various habitats, from deciduous forests to swamps and mountains. On the right, the Gray Catbird (formerly known as Thryothorus ludovicianus, now Dumetella carolinensis) is shown with its glossy, gray-brown plumage and distinctive crest. This bird is a member of the New World warbler family, and its scientific name translates to "chestnut-sided bay-breasted setanea." The Gray Catbird is native to the eastern United States and Canada, and it is known for its distinctive, cat-like meow. This stunning 19th-century lithograph, produced by E.K. Mayers in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, offers a glimpse into the rich natural history of North America and the meticulous attention to detail of its creators. The intricate engraving and vibrant chromolithography bring these birds to life, capturing their unique beauty and character for future generations to appreciate.
