EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of the White-winged, or Velvet, Scoter (Melanitta deglandi) as captured by renowned ornithologist and artist John James Audubon. The engraving, created for his iconic Birds of America series between 1827 and 1838, perfectly captures the essence of this wild American bird. Perched on a rocky seashore with its striking white wing prominently displayed, the scoter exudes an air of elegance and grace. Its distinctive markings are meticulously detailed in Audubon's engraving, allowing us to appreciate every intricate pattern on its exterior. The scoter's beak is sharp and well-defined, reflecting its predatory nature as it navigates through coastal waters. Notably, Audubon also highlights the scoter's webbed feet - a remarkable adaptation that enables it to effortlessly glide across water surfaces in search of prey. This portrayal serves as a testament to both Audubon's artistic skill and his scientific understanding of avian anatomy. This print transports us back in time to witness early American ornithology at its finest. It reminds us of Audubon's immense contribution to our knowledge and appreciation of birds while emphasizing the importance of preserving these magnificent creatures' natural habitats.
