EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 300 from John James Audubon's renowned work, "Birds of America," features the captivating American Golden Plover (Pluvialis dominica), depicted in intricate detail in this hand-coloured aquatint engraving. The bird is shown in mid-flight, its mottled, golden belly contrasting sharply against the darker tones of its wings. The meticulous anatomy of the American Golden Plover is on full display, with each feather, leg, and belly feather carefully rendered. The illustration showcases the bird's long, slender legs and its distinctive, slightly upturned beak. The background is kept simple, with the focus on the bird itself. This plate, engraved, printed, and coloured by R. Havell (& Son) in London, is a testament to the exceptional artistry and dedication to natural history that characterized Audubon's work. The American Golden Plover, a member of the Charadriiformes order and the Charadriidae family, is a migratory shorebird that can be found in various parts of the Americas during different seasons. This stunning illustration captures the essence of the bird in its daytime habitat, providing a window into the natural world of over 180 years ago.
