摘要

In 1991, The Gutman Library of Harvard University received four handwritten arithmetic books dating from 1800-1803. Two of the books were decorated with stylized birds and a watercolor drawing of a bird was found in one of the books. We conclude that the drawing is of a juvenile Field Sparrow (Spizella pusilla), although other species are possible and are discussed. We further conclude that the artist was probably William Bar-tram. Notes found in the handwritten arithmetic books attribute the decorations to Alexander Wilson, but the evidence is circumstantial and open to alternative explanations. The decorations are mostly of stylized birds rendered in different colors of ink and completed before Wilson's decision to catalogue the birds of North America and his commitment to learn to paint birds under the guidance of William Bartram, an accomplished illustrator and naturalist. If Wilson's, the decorations indicate that he possessed considerable artistic ability and interest in birds prior to undertaking his remarkable "American Ornithology."
