| | Description: Pelecanus occidentalis Flora: Mangrove, Rhizophora mangle Print size: 26 1/4" x 39 1/4"; image size: 24 1/2" x 36 1/2" Produced 1985 - Princeton Audubon Limited Edition Audubon probably drew this adult pelican in the Florida Keys in April or May 1832. Landscape artist, George Lehman, painted the mangrove limb. The brown pelican is a ponderous bird, but with its six-and-one-half-food wingspread has a powerful flight which it alternates with short glides. The bird carries a large pouch under its lower bill and has an appetite for fish as large as the pouch. American children learn of the brown pelican through a well known bit of doggerel that begins: "What a wonderful bird is the pelican-Its beak can hold more than its belly can,..." A long line of these birds flapping and sailin... click here for more info

| | Description: Buteo lineatus Flora: possibly white oak, Quercus alba Print size: 26 1/4" x 39 1/4"; image size: 25" x 37" Produced 1985 - Princeton Audubon Limited Edition Painted in Louisiana in 1825. Audubon studied the habits of the pair of hawks represented here over a period of three years, and this devotion resulted in one of the finest works he did in Louisiana before sailing to Liverpool in 1826. "The mutual attachment of the male and the female continues during live," Audubon wrote. "They usually hunt in pairs during the whole year; and although they built a new nest every spring, they are fond of resorting to the same parts of the woods for that purpose." Although it has been known as the "big chicken hawk," and "hen hawk," only a small percentage of the red-shouldered hawk's food is m... click here for more info

The artist, Joseph Mason, also worked on the background. More than half a century earlier, the Swedish naturalist Linnaeus, in a scientific description of this orange and black American oriole, had named the bird in honor of Cecil Calvert, second Baron of Baltimore, because Lord Baltimore's family colors were also orange and black. Now known as the northern oriole, its mellow whistle, loud, clear, and rather low-pitched, is a sure sign of the retreat of... click here for more info

American Goldfinch Princeton Audubon Limited Edition
Check current price & buy online.
|
| | Description: This print is based on a composition probably painted in August 1824 in New York State, for Audubon wrote: "In ascending along the shores of the Mohawk river, in the month of August, I have met more of these pretty birds in the course of a day's walk than anywhere else, and whenever a thistle was to be seen along either bank of the New York Canal, it was ornamented with one or more Goldfinches." The goldfinch, a joy to even the most casual observer, is common from ocean to ocean, and its flight call as it dips through the air, per-chic-o-ree, per-chic-o-ree, is as sweet as that of any caged canary. Dr. Frank M. Chapman, in his Handbook of Birds of Eastern North America, says that "their song is delivered with an ecstasy and abandon which carries them off their feet, they circle over the... click here for more info

The landscape artist, George Lehman, painted the flowering limb of the geiger tree. "I saw them as they approached the shore," Audubon wrote, "skimming along the surface of the waters, flying with great rapidity, much in the manner of the common house species, but not near each other like the Passenger Pigeon. On nearing the land, they rose to the height of about a hundred yards, surveyed the country in large circles, then with less velocity gradually descended, and alighted in the thickest parts of th... click here for more info

| | Description: Icteria virens Flora: possibly Rosa virginiana Print size: 26 1/4" x 39 1/4"; image size: 20" x 24" Produced 1985 - Princeton Audubon Limited Edition Painted in New Jersey, June 7. 1829. "I have presented you with several figures of this singular species," Audubon wrote of the painting from which this plate was engraved, "to shew you their positions when on the wing performing their antics in the love season as well as when alighted." This "performing," as he noted, involved "the strangest and most whimsical gesticulations." The chat is the largest member of the New World family of wood warblers and prefers to live in tangled thickets and hedgerows along streams. It has been described by George Dock, Jr. as "one of the most talented clowns of the feathered kingdom, both with its vo... click here for more info

| | Description: Carolina Wren, Thryothorus ludovicianus Flora: scarlet buckeye, Aesculus pavia Print size: 26 1/4" x 39 1/4"; image size: 12" x 18 1/2" Produced 1985 - Princeton Audubon Limited Edition Based on a composition painted in Louisiana or Mississippi in 1822. Audubon's young assistant, Joseph Mason, was the artist who painted the blossoming twig which Audubon identified as a "Dwarf horse chestnut." The Carolina wren seems so full of song-clear, strong, yet sweet. This song consists of loud, rapid triplets, described variously as a spirited three-part tea-kettle, tea-kettle, tea-kettle, or a two-part wheedle, wheedle repeated half a dozen times. Unlike most other wrens, it is nonmigratory. Common in the Southeastern United States, it tends to extend its northern ranges after mile winter... click here for more info

Black & Yellow (Magnolia) Warbler Princeton Audubon Limited Edition

| | Description: Magnolia Warbler, Dendroica magnolia Flora: purple-flowering raspberry, Rubus odoratus Print size: 26 1/4" x 39 1/4"; image size: 11 1/2" x 18 1/2" Produced 1985 - Princeton Audubon Limited Edition According to Roger Tory Peterson, "Audubon drew this immature magnolia warbler in Louisiana on October 20, 1821, when it was in its autumnal migration." The original for the plate was a painting made in 1829 and inscribed "Great Pine Swamp, Aug-12th." "Black and Yellow Warbler," the name formerly applied to the magnolia warbler, was most descriptive of its color, but had the disadvantage of being equally descriptive of several other warblers. Thus the change to magnolia warbler. In its movements it has a trick of partly spreading its tail, thereby showing the characteristic white band c... click here for more info

"The specimen from which the drawings were taken," Audubon wrote, "was presented to me by a friend who had received it from the Columbia River, and is the only individual...which I did not receive on the spot." Actually, the bird is a native of Mexico rather than the Columbia River area in Oregon, and in painting it, Audubon departed from an early resolve never to draw from a stuffed specimen. In so doing, he erred and included the magnificent magpie jay with his northw... click here for more info

The pair of birds at bottom was apparently done first, since the limb on which the topmost bird sits is not connected to the branch on which its mate is perched. In this painting Audubon attempted, as he wrote, to give "a faithful representation of two as gentle pairs of Turtles [doves] as ever cooed their loves in the green woods. I have placed them on a branch of Stuartia, which you see ornamented with a profusion of white blossoms, emblematic of purity and chastity." Though this bird was known to Audubon as the Carolina turtle d... click here for more info

It depicts two males fighting over a female and is one of the few works in which Audubon drew all three of the compositional elements: birds, plants, and landscape. Of the tiger lily Audubon wrote: "This beautiful plant,...grows in swamps and moist copses, in the Northern and Eastern States, as far as Virginia, as well as in the western prairies,...I was forced to reduce the stem, in order to introduce it into my drawing, the back ground of which is an attempt to represent our original western meadows."

Hummingbirds, found only in the New World, fascinated Americans and Europeans of Audubon's day. to gratify this widespread curiosity with a number of views of the diminutive ruby-throat, he placed ten of them together, although in nature they are too pugnacious to associate this closely. He spoke glowingly of this bird of eastern North America: "No sooner has the returned sun again introduced the vernal season, and caused millions of plants to expand their leaves and blossoms to the genial beams, than the little ... click here for more info

Audubon wrote in his journal for March 26, 1821, that Joseph Mason had shot a male "Blue Yellow Back Warbler." On the following day Audubon painted both the warbler and its mate, she eyeing an inchworm. The northern parula warbler is a grayish-blue bird with a distinctive yellowish-green patch on its back and a buzzing song that during breeding season has been described as a "sizzling trill." The name "parula," meaning a diminutive Parus or titmouse, was given this warbler because of its chickade... click here for more info

| | Description: Troglodytes aedon Print size: 26 1/4" x 39 1/4"; image size: 11 1/2" x 18 1/2" Produced in 1985 - Princeton Audubon Limited Edition Audubon made a pastel drawing of a male house wren when he and his wife were in Pennsylvania in 1812. Later, he made use of this work to produce the present composition showing the wren nest in a felt hat. His penciled outline of the tree limb was completed for the engraving by Robert Havell, Jr. Audubon wrote of his original painting: "I knew of one [nest] in the pocket of an old broken-down carriage, and many in such an old hat as you see represented in the plate...I hope you will...look at the little creatures anxiously peeping out or hanging to the side of the hat, to meet their mother; which has just arrived with a spider, whilst the male is on th... click here for more info

While Audubon and Joseph Mason were wandering through a Louisiana cypress swamp on August 13, 1821, Audubon shot and wounded what he believed to be a bird of an unknown species. He first gave it the name "Cypress Swamp Fly Catcher," but later renamed it "Bonaparte's Fly-catcher" in honor of Napoleon's nephew Charles Lucien Bonaparte, a naturalist whom Audubon met in Philadelphia in 1824. Actually, the bird is a young female Canada warbler. Audubon's young assistant, Joseph Mason, drew the leaves and ripe seed pod of the southern magnolia. Aptly named, the Canada warbler haunts the undergrowth, shady thickets, and dense w... click here for more info
