EDITORS COMMENTS
Anas discors, commonly known as the Blue-winged Teal, is depicted in this stunning hand-coloured aquatint plate from John James Audubon's "Birds of America" (Plate 313). This exquisite illustration, originally created between 1835 and 1838, showcases the Blue-winged Teal in its natural habitat during daytime hours. The intricate details of the bird's plumage are beautifully rendered, with the iridescent blue feathers on its wings and the intricate patterns on its head and neck standing out in particular. The long, slender body and graceful neck of the Blue-winged Teal are also evident, as the bird appears to take flight in the open air. Audubon's masterful use of the aquatint technique is evident in the rich textures and tonal variations present in the image. The background features a serene outdoor setting, with the Blue-winged Teal appearing almost ethereal against the muted greens and browns of the surrounding landscape. The meticulous hand-colouring adds an additional layer of depth and vibrancy to the illustration, bringing the Blue-winged Teal to life in a way that transcends the boundaries of the page. As a member of the Anatidae family, the Blue-winged Teal is a small, migratory duck that can be found in North and Central America. Its distinctive blue wing markings make it easily recognizable among other waterfowl species. This illustration serves as a testament to Audubon's unwavering dedication to documenting the natural world and his extraordinary artistic abilities.
