Central Park March 6th 1890 by Julianna Swaney - $26

I am in love with this print by Julianna Swaney. It’s 8.5″ x 11″ and is only $26. Here’s her description of it:

This drawing was inspired by the story of Eugene Schieffelin, the man who tried to introduce all the birds mentioned in the plays of Shakespeare into the Americas. On March 6th 1890 he released a few cages of starlings into Central Park, and now starlings are among the most common birds in the US.
I always liked the strangeness of this story and image of a fancy 19th century man releasing cages of birds in a snowy landscape.
