EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century print by Robert Havell showcases the exquisite beauty of two aquatic birds - the Violet-green Cormorant and Townsends Cormorant. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in this hand-colored engraving and aquatint on whatman wove paper. The vibrant colors bring these magnificent creatures to life, capturing their grace and elegance as they perch upon a rocky outcrop overlooking a tranquil body of water. The contrasting plumage of the Violet-green Cormorant with its deep violet hues against the sleek black feathers of the Townsends Cormorant creates a visually striking composition. Havell's artistic skill shines through in his ability to capture not only the physical characteristics but also the essence of these avian species. Each feather is delicately rendered, showcasing Havell's mastery over his craft. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, this print serves as a testament to both Audubon John James' ornithological expertise and Havell's artistic talent. It transports viewers back to a time when exploration and discovery were paramount, offering an intimate glimpse into America's natural heritage. As we admire this remarkable artwork, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic value but also recognize its significance in preserving our understanding of these beautiful creatures that inhabit our country's landscapes.
