EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured copperplate print showcases the elegant Smooth-billed ani, also known as the lesser ani. Created by the talented artist John Latham in 1822 for his renowned publication "A General History of Birds" this artwork beautifully captures the essence of this unique bird species. The smooth-billed ani, scientifically named Crotophaga ani, is depicted with meticulous detail and vibrant colors that bring it to life on paper. Its sleek black plumage contrasts strikingly against its bright yellow eyes and beak. The intricate engravings showcase every feather and contour, revealing Latham's dedication to capturing nature's beauty. As a sea bird native to various regions across America, this species possesses an undeniable grace and charm. With its slender body perched atop a branch, it exudes an air of tranquility amidst its natural habitat. Latham's work not only serves as a visual delight but also contributes significantly to ornithology and our understanding of avian diversity. This particular print exemplifies his expertise in portraying birds' anatomical features while incorporating artistic flair through delicate hand-colouring techniques. Whether you are an avid bird enthusiast or simply appreciate fine art, this exquisite print offers a glimpse into the rich history of natural illustration from the 19th century. It stands as a testament to both Latham's skill as an engraver and his passion for showcasing Earth's diverse wildlife through his masterful creations.
