EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite illustration from the renowned "Birds of America" collection, created by the talented John James Audubon between 1827 and 1838. The hand-coloured engraving and aquatint technique used in this artwork bring to life a mesmerizing avian scene that measures an impressive 97.5 x 65 cm. Housed within the esteemed Devonshire Collections at Chatsworth, this particular piece is believed to have been acquired and bound for the sixth Duke of Devonshire during the mid-19th century. Its presence can be traced back to a comprehensive library catalogue compiled in 1879 under the guidance of William Cavendish, cousin and heir to the seventh Duke of Devonshire. The intricate details captured in this illustration highlight Audubon's exceptional skill as both an artist and ornithologist. Every feather seems delicately rendered, showcasing his dedication to accurately portraying these magnificent creatures. This image serves as a testament not only to Audubon's talent but also his contribution to our understanding of birds through his groundbreaking work.
