"Fish Crow, No. 10-2, Plate 226" is a notable chromolithograph by the esteemed American ornithologist, naturalist, and painter John James Audubon, featured in the Bien Edition of his seminal work, "The Birds of America." Produced in 1860, this edition was a significant endeavor to reprint Audubon's original watercolors through the then-innovative process of chromolithography, a method allowing for more vibrant and detailed reproductions than the earlier aquatint process used in the first edition. The Bien Edition, named after the printer Julius Bien, was an ambitious project aimed at making Audubon's work more accessible, though it was ultimately left incomplete due to financial difficulties exacerbated by the outbreak of the American Civil War.

The "Fish Crow, No. 10-2, Plate 226" captures the essence of Audubon's artistic and scientific rigor. It depicts the fish crow, a species native to the southeastern United States, characterized by its smaller size and more sociable nature compared to the common American crow. Audubon's attention to detail and his commitment to portraying birds in their natural habitats are evident in this work. The chromolithograph showcases the bird in a lifelike pose, emphasizing its distinctive physical features and behavior, which Audubon meticulously studied in the field.

This piece, like others in the Bien Edition, is celebrated for its artistic beauty and scientific accuracy, reflecting Audubon's dual legacy as both a pioneering ornithologist and a gifted artist. "Fish Crow, No. 10-2, Plate 226" remains an important work within Audubon's oeuvre, exemplifying his enduring impact on ornithology, art, and the environmental movement. The Bien Edition, despite its incomplete status, is regarded as a monumental achievement in the history of American art and natural history illustration, with Audubon's works continuing to captivate and inspire audiences around the world.
