EDITORS COMMENTS
In this stunning and intricately detailed illustration from John James Audubon's "Birds of America," we find the Wilson's Storm Petrel, Oceanites oceanicus, perched precariously on a rocky outcropping, its feet clinging tenaciously to the uneven surface. The petrel's rump is upturned, revealing the brilliant white underbelly, a stark contrast to the dark, glossy feathers covering the rest of its body. The petrel's wings are folded tightly against its sides, its beak open slightly as if in mid-call. The dramatic, action-packed scene is brought to life through the masterful use of color in this hand-coloured aquatint print. The deep blues and greens of the ocean waves crash against the rocks below, while the petrel's vibrant plumage stands out against the muted tones of the surrounding seascape. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the individual strands of the petrel's feathers, each one meticulously rendered to create a lifelike effect. The Wilson's Storm Petrel is a small seabird belonging to the Hydrobatidae family, order Procellariiformes, and class Sauropsida. These birds are known for their ability to fly in stormy weather, earning them the name "storm petrel." They are typically found in the North and South Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, and are most active during the daytime. This illustration, plate 270 from Audubon's "Birds of America," was engraved, printed, and hand-coloured by R. Havell & Son in London between 1834 and 1835. The original double elephant folio is a testament to the skill and artistry of the time, and remains a valuable and treasured piece of natural history.
