A brief virtual tour of a masterpiece of ornithological illustration. Plate 131 from Birds of America by John James Audubon. A supreme illustration in the finest detail but, surprisingly, not much known outside the world of dedicated students of Audubon's work. The more well-known examples, such as Wild Turkey and Blue Jay, are nowhere near as fine as this amazing piece of early 19th Century draughtsmanship and printing.

Now restored to its full original glory but free of the early engraving, printing and colouring errors that were inevitable 180 years ago.

  • @visualvirtue The numbers are not the count of birds present but the reference numbers for each type.
