EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Frigate Pelican, also known as Tachypetes Aquilis, in all its majestic glory. The image is a reproduction from John J. Audubon's renowned book "The Birds of America" published between 1827 and 1838. With its beak poised for action and clawed feet ready to strike, this bird exemplifies grace and power. Its vibrant feathers are beautifully captured through hand-colored engraving, bringing out every intricate detail. This historical gem belongs to the Historica Graphica Collection, serving as a testament to Audubon's significant contributions to ornithology. In this snapshot frozen in time, we witness the Frigate Pelican mid-dive into the vast ocean below. It is an awe-inspiring sight as it swoops down with unparalleled precision and agility. This illustration transports us back to the 19th century when Audubon dedicated his life to documenting these magnificent creatures. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of natural history artistry, we cannot help but feel connected to the wild world that surrounds us. It serves as a reminder of our planet's incredible biodiversity and encourages us to appreciate and protect it for future generations.
