EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 198 from John James Audubon's renowned work, "Birds of America," features the captivating Swainson's Warbler (Limnothlypis swainsoni), depicted in intricate detail in this hand-coloured aquatint engraving. The warbler is shown perched gracefully on a branch adorned with azalea flowers, adding a vibrant pop of color to the otherwise muted tones of the illustration. The warbler's delicate features are on full display, with its distinctive orange-yellow bill and olive-green plumage. Surrounding the warbler, a variety of butterflies, insects, and other arthropods flit and crawl among the branches and flowers. A flame-orange and black butterfly rests atop a leaf, while a beetle and a spider make their homes among the foliage. The warbler itself appears unphased by the bustling activity around it, focused intently on the hunt for food. The Swainson's Warbler is a member of the Ericaceae family, a group of flowering plants commonly known as heaths or erics. The azalea flowers in the background are also part of this family, adding to the botanical accuracy of the illustration. The Swainson's Warbler is a small, migratory bird found in North and Central America. It is named after the English naturalist William Swainson, who first described the species in 1832. This illustration, engraved, printed, and coloured by R. Havell (& Son) in London, is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and scientific accuracy that defined Audubon's groundbreaking work.
