EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 136 from John James Audubon's renowned work, "Birds of America," features the striking image of an Eastern Meadowlark (Sturnella magna), captured in the midst of flight against a backdrop of vibrant, hand-colored flowers. This exquisite illustration, created between 1831 and 1834, is a testament to the masterful artistry of Audubon and the skilled craftsmanship of R. Havell (& Son) of London. The Eastern Meadowlark, a member of the Icteridae family, is depicted with its distinctive yellow breast and black "V" marking, set against the lush greenery and a riot of colorful blooms. The flowers in this illustration belong to the angiosperm class, specifically the dicotyledon group, or eudicots. The asterid clade, to which many of these flowers belong, is characterized by their two seed leaves and the presence of a flower with both sepals and petals. Among the identified flowers, the foxglove (Digitalis purpurea) and Aureolaria (Aureolaria affinis) are prominent. The foxglove, a member of the Scrophulariaceae family, is easily recognizable by its tall spikes of bell-shaped flowers, while Aureolaria, or the golden-thread, is known for its delicate yellow flowers and trailing habit. The Eastern Meadowlark is a bird of the daytime, often found in open fields and meadows, and is a beloved sight during the warmer months. The combination of the Eastern Meadowlark in flight and the stunning display of flowers in this illustration captures the beauty and diversity of the natural world as observed by one of history's greatest naturalists.
