EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 245 from John James Audubon's monumental work, "Birds of America," showcases the captivating Uria lomvia, also known as the Thick-billed Murre or Brünnich's Guillemot. This exquisite illustration, part of the original double elephant folio edition produced between 1834 and 1835, is a testament to the meticulous detail and artistry of the time. The hand-coloured aquatint was engraved, printed, and coloured by R. Havell (& Son) in London. The Uria lomvia is a remarkable seabird belonging to the charadriiform order, specifically the alcidae family. Sauropsida is its scientific classification, which includes reptiles and birds. This bird is easily identified by its thick, decurved bill, which is distinctively longer than that of other guillemots. The Thick-billed Murre is a master of the sea, spending most of its life at sea, only coming ashore to breed. In this stunning depiction, the bird is shown in flight, its wings outstretched, revealing the intricate patterns on its feathers. The daytime scene outside captures the essence of the bird's natural habitat, with the open sea stretching out behind it. Audubon's "Birds of America" is a groundbreaking work, showcasing the natural history and beauty of North American birds. This illustration of the Thick-billed Murre is a prime example of the extraordinary level of detail and artistry that went into each plate. The hand-colouring adds depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a true masterpiece of natural history art.
