Baltimore OriolesSarah Stone, 1785STONE, Sarah (c. 1760 - 1844). Drawing of a pair of Baltimore orioles, [London,] 1785. A pair of Baltimore orioles by artist Sarah Stone. An autodidact whose father was a fan painter, Sarah Stone was already renowned as an illustrator of natural history specimens when still in her teens. She began working for Sir Ashton Lever in 1777, illustrating objects in his famous museum; over the next decade she executed hundreds of watercolors of all sorts of ethnological and natural items, working from the specimens in the Leverian Museum. The Baltimore orioles would have been among the American “curiosities” of the Museum, and Stone’s depiction of them in 1785 is one of the very few illustrations of North American birds from this period. 434 x 374mm on a single sheet of heavy, wove paper (foxing, toned at margin from matting). Inscribed near the lower margin: "Sarah Stone 1786 Baltimore Birds N…". Matted. Red cloth clamshell.
