Featuring lovely warblers and lush hibiscus, this Blue-winged Warbler shawl is adapted from the original watercolor in the collection of the New-York Historical Society. John James Audubon (1785-1851) is considered America’s first great watercolorist and foremost painter of wildlife. New-York Historical holds all 435 watercolors for the double elephant folio The Birds of America (1827-38), engraved by Robert Havell Jr.
