"American Flamingo (plate 375)" is a renowned lithograph created by Julius Bien, a prominent 19th-century lithographer known for his exceptional work in the field of natural history illustration. This particular plate is part of the second edition of John James Audubon's monumental work, "The Birds of America," which is widely celebrated for its detailed and lifelike depictions of North American bird species. The original edition of "The Birds of America" was published between 1827 and 1838, featuring hand-colored engravings. However, the second edition, produced in the 1850s, utilized the lithographic process, with Bien being commissioned to reproduce Audubon's original plates.

Julius Bien's lithographs are distinguished by their precision and vibrant coloration, capturing the essence of Audubon's original watercolors. "American Flamingo (plate 375)" is particularly notable for its striking portrayal of the American Flamingo (Phoenicopterus ruber), a bird known for its vivid pink plumage and elegant stature. The image showcases the flamingo in a naturalistic setting, emphasizing its long, slender legs and distinctive curved bill, which it uses to filter-feed in shallow waters.

Bien's work on this plate exemplifies the high standards of craftsmanship and artistic skill that characterized the lithographic process during the mid-19th century. The collaboration between Audubon and Bien represents a significant moment in the history of ornithological illustration, bridging the gap between the earlier hand-colored engravings and the more accessible and reproducible lithographs. "American Flamingo (plate 375)" remains a testament to the enduring legacy of Audubon's vision and Bien's technical prowess, continuing to captivate audiences with its beauty and scientific accuracy.
