EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored aquatint print showcases the graceful locomotion of the Audubon's Shearwater, Puffinus lherminieri, as it glides through the tranquil waters. The intricate details of the bird's webbed feet and streamlined body are beautifully rendered in this exquisite work of art, which is plate 299 from John James Audubon's seminal work, "Birds of America" (1834-35). Engraved, printed, and hand-colored by R. Havell (& Son) in London, this masterpiece captures the essence of this tubenose seabird in its natural habitat. The Audubon's Shearwater, also known as the Leach's Storm-Petrel, is a member of the Procellariidae family and the Procellariiformes order. This sauropsid bird is characterized by its long wings, tubular nostrils, and webbed feet, which are perfectly adapted for swimming and diving in the open sea. The bird's feathers are primarily grayish-brown, with white underparts and a black cap and wings, creating a striking contrast. The Audubon's Shearwater is a pelagic bird that spends most of its life at sea, only coming ashore to breed. It is typically found in the North Atlantic Ocean and is known to migrate long distances during its annual journey. This bird is a daytime swimmer, often seen in the daytime, and is an important food source for larger marine animals such as sharks and tuna. This magnificent print not only serves as a beautiful work of art but also provides valuable insights into the natural history of this fascinating bird species. The meticulous attention to detail and the use of hand-coloring add depth and richness to the image, making it a true masterpiece of natural history illustration.
