EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored aquatint print showcases the elegant form of the Black Scoter (Melanitta nigra), Plate 408 from John James Audubon's iconic work, "Birds of America" (1835-38). Engraved and printed by R. Havell & Son in London, this exquisite illustration captures the intricate details of this common scoter's anatomy. With its glossy black plumage, distinctive white patches on the wings, and bright orange bill, the Black Scoter is a striking sight in the water. The Black Scoter is a member of the Anatidae family, also known as ducks, geese, and swans. This bird is a diver, meaning it feeds on the bottom of bodies of water, using its webbed feet to propel itself underwater. Its large, powerful bill is perfectly adapted for upending itself and plunging into the water to forage for mollusks, crustaceans, and other aquatic organisms. The Black Scoter is found in the Northern Hemisphere, from the Arctic regions to the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of North America. This image captures the bird in its daytime habitat, with its feet tucked neatly under its body as it floats on the water's surface. The intricate details of the feathers, the texture of the water, and the reflections on the bird's body all come to life in this beautifully colored print. Audubon's "Birds of America" is considered one of the greatest achievements in the history of natural history illustration. Each plate was produced using the most advanced techniques of the time, resulting in stunningly detailed and accurate depictions of the birds of North America. This print of the Black Scoter is a testament to the skill and dedication of Audubon and his team, and remains a treasure of the natural world today.
