John G. Warnicke Alexander Wilson

John G. Warnicke and Alexander Wilson are documented contributors to natural history printmaking, primarily active around 1808. Their collaborative output focuses exclusively on ornithological subjects, detailing various North American bird species through detailed graphic studies.

Five of their high-quality prints are represented in museum collections. These works, often grouping multiple species onto a single plate, include documented titles such as Passenger Pigeon, Blue-mountain Warbler, and Hemlock Warbler and the extensive study Wood Ibis, Scarlet Ibis, Flamingo, and White Ibis. Their technical proficiency in rendering these scientific subjects is evident in their detailed illustrations.

The historical significance of their work is affirmed by their inclusion in major institutions, with prints held by the National Gallery of Art. Because of the era in which they worked, much of the ornithological documentation associated with John G. Warnicke and Alexander Wilson prints is now available in the public domain, providing access to these important scientific records as downloadable artwork for researchers and enthusiasts.
