In this exhibition, you can compare Jackson’s unique coloration of Carolina parakeets to Audubon’s example from the Birds of America and to a specimen of the now-extinct bird collected in 1893. The apocalyptic scenario Jackson references in this print is overpopulation, and I want to shout out our tours coordinator, Neal Long, who noticed that there is a large skull looming through the background of this image.
