Aquatint Diving Etching Hand Colored Havell Naturalist Ornithological Plate Fratercula Corniculata
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of a Large-billed Puffin, as depicted in a coloured engraving by renowned artist John James Audubon. The artwork, housed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC, USA, is an exceptional example from Audubon's iconic book "Birds of America" published between 1827 and 1838. The image captures the essence of this remarkable bird species, scientifically known as Fratercula corniculata. With its distinctive large beak and striking plumage, the puffin stands gracefully on a rocky surface near shimmering waters. This hand-colored aquatint etching by Robert Havell Junior beautifully portrays the intricate details of the bird's feathers and features. Audubon's work revolutionized ornithology and natural history illustration during the nineteenth century. His dedication to capturing birds' true likeness in their natural habitats made him one of America's most celebrated naturalists. This enchanting print not only serves as an artistic masterpiece but also provides valuable insights into avian wildlife for enthusiasts and researchers alike. It reminds us of our connection with nature and encourages appreciation for these magnificent creatures that inhabit our world.
