Robert Havell was a talented artist known for his exquisite hand-coloured engravings and etchings. His attention to detail is evident in his stunning portrayal of various species, such as the Rocky Mountain Plover in 1836. Working closely with renowned naturalist John James Audubon, Havell also brought to life the majestic Trumpeter Swan in 1838. However, Havell's artistic prowess extended beyond wildlife. In 1814, he captured the industrial revolution's spirit with his depiction of a Blenkinsop Locomotive at a Yorkshire Colliery. This piece showcases his versatility as an artist and highlights the significance of technological advancements during that era. Havell's passion for capturing architectural beauty is showcased in his collaboration with Robert Havell himself on The Horse Guards & Melbourne House around 1821. This artwork transports viewers back to London's historical landmarks while showcasing their grandeur through intricate details. Nature enthusiasts would be captivated by Havell's depictions of birds like the Mocking Bird and Ring Dove Woodpigeon from 1827-1838 and 1835 respectively. These hand-coloured engravings showcase not only his technical skill but also an appreciation for avian diversity. His love for ornithology continues with works like Black-throated Diver (Arctic Loon) and Great Auk from 1836, both masterfully rendered using aquatint engraving techniques. These pieces serve as reminders of endangered species' plight while celebrating their unique beauty. Intriguingly, Havell explored more than just avifauna; he immortalized other creatures too. The Whooping Crane and Great White Heron are meticulously depicted in hand-coloured etchings from 1834 and 1835 respectively—testaments to both their elegance and vulnerability within our changing world. Finally, no collection would be complete without the regal Golden Eagle, beautifully captured by Havell in 1833.
