EDITORS COMMENTS
Anas platyrhynchos, commonly known as the Mallard, is depicted in this stunning hand-coloured aquatint plate from John James Audubon's "Birds of America." Plate 221, engraved, printed, and coloured by R. Havell (& Son) of London, showcases a flock of Mallards in their vibrant plumage, with the male birds displaying their distinctive green heads and orange bills, while the females sport brown bodies with a white collar around their necks. The Mallard is a dabbling duck, meaning they feed by tipping up in the water to forage for food, and are one of the most widespread and common waterfowl species. They are found throughout the Northern Hemisphere and have been introduced to many other parts of the world. The intricate detail and lifelike quality of this illustration are a testament to Audubon's extraordinary talent as a naturalist and artist. The Mallards are depicted in a serene outdoor setting, basking in the daytime sunlight, their reflections shimmering in the calm water. This plate is part of the original double elephant folio edition of "Birds of America," which was published between 1834 and 1835. The work is considered a masterpiece of ornithological illustration and is renowned for its scientific accuracy and artistic beauty. The hand-colouring adds an additional layer of detail and depth to the image, making each print a unique work of art. The Mallard is a sauropsid, a group of reptile-descended vertebrates that includes birds and their close relatives. The Anseriformes order, to which the Mallard belongs, includes waterfowl such as ducks, geese, and swans. This illustration provides a fascinating glimpse into the natural history of this iconic bird species and the artistry of one of the greatest naturalists and artists of all time.
