Rathbone's Wood-Warbler

by John James Audubon

Step back in time and enter the world of American natural history through the medium of this amazing reproduction of John James Audubon's Rathbone's Wood-Warbler (formerly known as Sylvia Rathbonia, but currently identified as the Yellow Warbler). This magnificent work, which is an illustration originally found in the author’s renowned book of the 19th century “The Birds of America”, depicts a pair of these beautiful and brightly yellow colored birds seated amid the twisted tendrils of a Ramping Trumpet-Flower.

The masterfulness of Audubon comes through in the way he creates the perfect balance between scientific accuracy and artistic beauty by giving life to these two male and female birds. Dedicated to the Rathbones of Liverpool (a family which helped the author on his journey to engrave his folios), this artwork is not only a decoration for your vintage home interior but much more than that.
