An interesting historic illustration from the voluminous Pacific Railroad Surveys (1850's). These, and the similar Mexican Boundary Survey publications have a number of hand-colored lithographs of birds. The artists and lithographers were not credited, but the zoological works were produced under the editorship of Spencer Fullerton Baird. This is a cleaned up version of a scanned image from the Biodiversity Heritage Library:biodiversitylibrary.org/page/11616765
