EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print, titled "Selenidera Spectabilis" showcases the exquisite beauty of a Yellow-eared Toucanet perched on a branch. Created by Koehler, Otto in 1850 and published by Bowen & Co. , this artwork is part of the renowned Jackson Collection of American Lithographs at the Free Library of Philadelphia. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke, capturing the intricate patterns and vibrant colors of this tropical bird species. The toucanet's striking yellow ear patches contrast beautifully with its black feathers, while its large beak adds an element of curiosity and charm. John Cassin, an esteemed American ornithologist and head of the Academy of Natural Sciences in Philadelphia during that time period, played a significant role in identifying and naming this species. His taxonomic names are associated with these prints. Displayed within the Journal of the Academy of Natural Sciences' second series, these hand-colored lithographs provided valuable scientific documentation for researchers and enthusiasts alike. This particular print serves as a testament to both artistic skill and scientific exploration. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported into nature's realm – where birds like Selenidera spectabilis grace us with their presence amidst lush foliage.
