EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunningly detailed and vibrant print showcases the powerful and agile Coopers Hawk (Accipiter cooperii), as depicted in Plate 36 from John James Audubon's iconic work, "Birds of America." The Cooper's Hawk is a medium-sized bird of prey belonging to the Accipitridae family, known for its distinctive blue-grey plumage, rust-colored barring, and distinctive white "eyebrow" above each eye. In this image, the Cooper's Hawk is shown in mid-flight, its wings outstretched and body poised for action. The hawk's piercing, hooked beak is open, revealing the sharp talons that make it an expert hunter of both birds and reptiles. The background is filled with lush greenery, adding to the sense of depth and dimension. The Cooper's Hawk is a master of stealth and surprise, often perching near its prey before launching a swift and dramatic attack. This image captures the drama of the moment before the hunt, as the hawk prepares to fly and strike. Hand-coloured by skilled artisans using aquatint techniques, this print showcases the exquisite detail and beauty of the Cooper's Hawk. The intricate feather patterns, the subtle shading, and the lifelike quality of the bird's eyes all combine to create a truly breathtaking work of art. As one of the most iconic and beloved works in the history of natural history illustration, "Birds of America" continues to captivate audiences with its stunning depictions of the birds of North America. This image of the Cooper's Hawk is a testament to the skill and artistry of John James Audubon and the team of craftsmen who brought his vision to life.
