Description
A hand-coloured engraving by John James Audubon, 'Plate 20. Blue-winged Yellow Warbler' depicts two birds perched on a flowering branch, showcasing Audubon's blend of scientific accuracy and artistic skill.
This print, titled 'Plate 20. Blue-winged Yellow Warbler', is by John James Audubon (1785-1851), the American ornithologist, naturalist, and painter. Audubon is known for his comprehensive study of American birds, documented in his book 'Birds of America' (1827-1838), which contains detailed illustrations of a wide variety of bird species found in North America. His meticulous approach to ornithology combined scientific accuracy with artistic skill. He often depicted birds in their natural habitats and behaviours. His work had a significant impact on both the scientific and artistic communities. He is considered one of the foremost naturalists and bird illustrators of his time. In this particular plate, two blue-winged yellow warblers are shown perched on a flowering branch. The birds are depicted with careful attention to detail, showing their plumage and distinctive markings. The flowers add a touch of colour and naturalism to the composition. The print is a fine example of Audubon's ability to combine scientific observation with artistic representation, capturing the beauty and diversity of the natural world.

Artist Biography
John James Audubon
He was born illegitimate in 1785 in Les Cayes, Saint-Domingue (now Haiti), the son of a French merchant and a Creole woman. He was sent to America at eighteen to avoid Napoleonic conscription. He was also a serial fabricator: he claimed his father was an admiral (he was a captain), said his family had been imprisoned in the Bastille (they had not), and invented frontier stories about fighting wolves and sleeping in igloos. He ran a dry-goods store in Kentucky and was jailed for bankruptcy in 1819.
The paintings themselves are extraordinary: precise, dynamic, and composed with a narrative quality that goes beyond scientific illustration. His legacy is contested. The National Audubon Society and several regional chapters dropped his name in 2023 because of his documented history as an enslaver. He died in 1851.
