EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "A Majestic Predator: The Northern Goshawk in Action" This stunning chromolithograph captures the power and grace of the Northern Goshawk, Accipiter gentilis, in its natural habitat. The adult hawk is depicted in full flight, its sharp eyes focused intently on the ground below. In its talons, the hawk holds a rabbit, a testament to its skill as a predator. The young Northern Goshawk, perched on a nearby branch, watches its parent with curiosity and admiration. The intricate details of their plumage are beautifully rendered in this ornithological illustration, which showcases the distinct coloration of the adult and juvenile birds. This image is an engraving after an original ornithological illustration by the renowned naturalist John James Audubon. It was published in Benjamin Harry Warren's Report on the Birds of Pennsylvania in 1890. The 19th century was a time of great interest in the natural world, and such detailed and accurate records of birds were essential for scientific research and conservation efforts. The Northern Goshawk is a bird of prey native to the Northern Hemisphere. It is a versatile hunter, preying on a variety of animals, from rodents and birds to larger game such as rabbits and even bald eagles, Haliaeetus leucocephalus. This illustration provides a glimpse into the natural history of this fascinating species, which continues to captivate ornithologists and wildlife enthusiasts alike. The intricate details of the illustration, from the textured feathers to the lifelike expressions of the birds, make this a beautiful addition to any collection of natural history prints. It is a reminder of the rich biodiversity of the world around us and the importance of preserving it for future generations.
