FIGURE 4 in Validity of Bartram's Painted Vulture (Aves: Cathartidae)
FIGURE 4. As reproduced from a photograph in Knight (1996), a limestone bowl recovered from the Moundville prehistoric site in central Alabama in 1906 has a handle resembling the head and neck of a King Vulture (or Painted Vulture), as suggested by Witmer Stone. A projection from the bird's forehead could represent the lappets of this species. Although somewhat posterior to the usual position of these structures, this projection might have been more extensive and extended farther forward in the original bowl. Alternatively, and perhaps more likely, the projection could have been a representation of the forehead snood of a Wild Turkey, as suggested by Steponaitis and Knight (2004). Supporting this interpretation is the existence of an incised worm-like structure on the underside of the bowl resembling the feathered beard of a Wild Turkey.
FIGURE 2. A in Validity of Bartram's Painted Vulture (Aves: Cathartidae)
FIGURE 2. A painting by Narca Moore-Craig illustrates Painted Vultures assembling at a Florida fire to consume roasted lizards and snakes, as described by Bartram. Details of coloration incorporate all of Bartram's descriptive materials, but for features left undescribed by Bartram, such as color of the neck ruff, presence of a red eye-ring, and presence of a dark belt encircling the base of the bill, the painting incorporates characteristics described in Albin's Warwovwen and also known to be present in King Vultures, presumably making the painting as close to the actual Painted Vulture as possible. The width of the terminal dark band to the tail reflects the feathers in Bartram's portrait of Mico Chlucco, rather than Albin's portrait of the Warwovwen, on the assumption that the former were indeed tail feathers of his described Painted Vulture.
FIGURE 1 in Validity of Bartram's Painted Vulture (Aves: Cathartidae)
FIGURE 1. Eleazar Albin's painting of the Warwovwen or Indian Vulture was a hand-colored 1734 rendition of a captive vulture at Charing-Cross, England, that was of uncertain geographic origin, but presumably came from somewhere in the New World. Described details of this bird, including tail color, provide a close match to Bartram's Painted Vulture description, although the colors in this print, reproduced from a copy in the U.S. National Museum, may not fully or accurately reflect their original appearance.
FIGURE 3 in Validity of Bartram's Painted Vulture (Aves: Cathartidae)
FIGURE 3. William Bartram's original portrait of Mico Chlucco, the Long Warrior or King of the Muscogulges, evidently dates from 1786 and was a response to a request from his publishers to provide a frontispiece for his immortal Travels, which finally appeared in 1791. The portrait could have been produced either from memory or, perhaps much more likely from some earlier version in his field notes, which have been lost or no longer exist. The fan of feathers attached to a wand on the right side of the portrait is believed to be the "royal standard" described in his Travels by Bartram and composed of the tail feathers of his Painted Vulture. The version of this portrait that appeared in 1791 was an engraving by Trenchard that differs in a number of respects, including number and appearance of feathers in the royal standard. Presumably the original version seen here is the most accurate in detailed appearance of the feathers.
