EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 380 from John James Audubon's renowned work, "Birds of America," showcases the intricately detailed illustration of the Tengmalms Owl, Aegolius funereus. This exquisite hand-colored aquatint print, engraved, printed, and colored by R. Havell (& Son) of London, captures the essence of this elusive boreal owl species. The owl is depicted perched gracefully on a gnarled branch, its piercing yellow eyes fixed intently on the viewer. The anatomy of the owl is rendered in exquisite detail, from the distinctive ear tufts and long, curved beak to the intricate feather patterns on its wings and body. The brown and white plumage of the owl is beautifully rendered, showcasing the subtle variations in color and texture. The Tengmalms Owl, also known as the Boreal Owl, is a nocturnal bird of prey native to the northern forests of Europe and North America. This illustration captures the owl in a rare moment of stillness during the daytime, adding to the intrigue and allure of this enigmatic bird. The intricate detail and lifelike quality of this plate make it a prized possession for any natural history enthusiast or collector. The beauty and rarity of this illustration transport us back in time, offering a glimpse into the natural world as it was captured by one of the greatest naturalists and illustrators in history.
