Description
A hand-coloured engraving by John James Audubon, 'Plate 5. Bonaparte's Flycatcher' depicts a Northern Parula perched on a flowering plant. This botanical illustration showcases Audubon's blend of scientific accuracy and artistic skill.
This print, titled 'Plate 5. Bonaparte's Flycatcher', is by John James Audubon (1785-1851), the American ornithologist, naturalist, and painter. It is a hand-coloured engraving on paper. The image depicts a small bird perched on a branch of a flowering plant. The bird, identified as Bonaparte's Flycatcher (now known as the Northern Parula), is shown with its distinctive blue-grey head, yellow throat, and greenish back. The plant features large, rounded green leaves and a cluster of red flowers. Audubon is celebrated for his detailed illustrations of North American birds. His major work, 'The Birds of America', published between 1827 and 1838, contains life-size prints of a wide variety of avian species. Audubon's approach combined scientific accuracy with artistic skill, capturing the birds in dynamic poses and natural settings. His work contributed significantly to ornithology and natural history illustration. The prints from 'The Birds of America' are prized for their beauty and historical importance.

Artist Biography
John James Audubon
Audubon shot the birds first, then wired them into lifelike poses and painted them. Birds of America (1827-1838), engraved and printed in Scotland and England, contains plates measuring roughly thirty-nine by twenty-six inches so the birds could be shown life-size. It is one of the most ambitious natural history publications ever produced.
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.
