EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 365 from John James Audubon's renowned work, "Birds of America," showcases the striking beauty of the Calcarius lapponicus, or Lapland Longspur. This exquisite hand-colored aquatint print, engraved, printed, and colored by R. Havell & Son in London between 1835 and 1838, captures the Lapland Longspur in its natural habitat - a snow-covered mountain landscape. The Lapland Longspur, a member of the Calcariidae family, is a passerine bird native to Europe and Asia. Known for its distinctive long, pointed bill and brightly colored bib, this bird is a common sight in the Arctic tundra during the daytime hours. The Lapland Longspur's plumage is a mix of brown, white, and black feathers, providing excellent camouflage against the rocky, uneven terrain of its mountainous environment. The geomorphology of the Lapland Longspur's habitat is evident in the intricately detailed landscape depicted in the background of the print. The rugged, snow-covered mountains and rocky outcroppings create a challenging yet beautiful environment for this hardy bird. Audubon's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the essence of the Lapland Longspur and its habitat make this print a true masterpiece. The hand-coloring adds an additional layer of depth and vibrancy to the already stunning aquatint engraving. The Lapland Longspur is not only a fascinating bird from an avian perspective but also a geological one, as its habitat provides a glimpse into the unique and varied landscapes of the Arctic tundra. This print is a testament to Audubon's unwavering dedication to documenting the natural world and preserving its beauty for future generations.
