EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 199 from John James Audubon's iconic work, "Birds of America," features the Northern Saw-whet Owl, Aegolius acadicus, in stunning detail. This exquisite illustration, originally created between 1831 and 1834, showcases the owl's distinctive facial discs, ear tufts, and piercing yellow eyes. The owl is perched on a gnarled branch, its beak slightly agape, as if ready to pounce on its next prey. The Northern Saw-whet Owl is a small, common bird of prey native to North America, belonging to the Strigiformes order and the family Strigidae. This nocturnal hunter is known for its aggressive hunting style and its ability to take down prey much larger than itself, including mice and other small mammals. The illustration was created using the aquatint technique, a complex process that involved engraving the plate, printing it in ink, and then hand-coloring each print. The result is a rich, vibrant image that captures the intricacies of the owl's plumage and the textures of its surroundings. Audubon's "Birds of America" is considered one of the greatest achievements in the history of natural history illustration. Each plate is a testament to Audubon's dedication to documenting the natural world and to the skill of the engravers and colorists who brought his vision to life. This image of the Northern Saw-whet Owl is a reminder of the beauty and diversity of the animal kingdom and the importance of preserving it for future generations.
