"American Crow, Plate CLVI" is a notable illustration by John James Audubon, a French-American naturalist, ornithologist, and painter, celebrated for his detailed and dramatic representations of birds in their natural habitats. This artwork is part of his seminal work, "The Birds of America," which was published as a series of life-sized prints between 1827 and 1838. "The Birds of America" is considered one of the finest ornithological works ever completed, featuring 435 hand-colored, aquatint engravings and showcasing the diversity of bird species in the United States.

The "American Crow, Plate CLVI" depicts the common American Crow (Corvus brachyrhynchos), a species widely distributed across North America. Audubon's illustration captures the crow in a naturalistic pose, with meticulous attention to the bird's physical characteristics, such as its glossy black plumage and robust bill. The crow is often shown in a setting that reflects its natural environment, highlighting Audubon's skill in portraying the interplay between the species and its habitat.

Audubon's technique involved first studying and often hunting the birds, then posing them using wires to mimic natural positions before painting them. His combination of scientific accuracy and artistic elegance was groundbreaking at the time and contributed significantly to the field of ornithology and the genre of wildlife art.

"American Crow, Plate CLVI" is not only a testament to Audubon's artistic prowess but also serves as an important historical record of the American Crow during the 19th century. The plate, like others in the collection, was originally created using the labor-intensive and costly method of copperplate engraving and aquatint, then hand-colored by a team of skilled colorists. "The Birds of America" was sold by subscription, and the complete set was available to only a few wealthy patrons and institutions, making it a rare and valuable collector's item.

Today, Audubon's work is celebrated for its contribution to art and natural history, and "American Crow, Plate CLVI" remains a significant piece within this monumental body of work. The original prints are highly sought after by collectors and institutions, and the images, including the American Crow, have been reproduced in various formats, allowing a wider audience to appreciate Audubon's legacy.
