Summary

Description
English: The Labrador Duck, Camptorhynchus labradorius, was a striking black and white eider-like sea duck that was never known to be common, and is believed to be the first bird to go extinct in North America after 1500. The last Labrador Duck is believed to have been seen at Elmira, New York on December 12, 1878; the last preserved specimen was shot in 1875 on Long Island. It was thought to breed in Labrador, although no nests were ever described, and it wintered from Nova Scotia to as far south as Chesapeake Bay. One-Half Natural Size—from Nature
Date

By Lionel Walter Rothschild, 2nd Baron Rothschild (8 February 1868 – 27 August 1937). (https://www.archive.org/details/extinctbirdsatte00roth)
