EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Great Auk, 1836" by Robert Havell takes us back to the enchanting world of 19th-century America. The Great Auk, a majestic seabird that once graced the country's coastlines, is beautifully captured in this hand-colored engraving and aquatint on Whatman wove paper. Havell's attention to detail and artistic skill are evident in every stroke of his etching. The vibrant colors bring life to the bird's plumage, showcasing its unique beauty against a backdrop of swirling ocean waves. As we gaze upon this artwork, we can almost hear the call of these magnificent creatures echoing through time. The National Gallery of Art in Washington proudly displays this piece as part of their ornithology collection. It serves as a testament to both Havell's talent and the rich biodiversity that once thrived along America's shores. Through his artistry, Havell invites us into a world where nature reigns supreme. This print not only captures the essence of an endangered species but also reminds us of our responsibility to protect and preserve our natural heritage for future generations. As we admire this remarkable work, let it serve as a gentle reminder that art has the power to inspire change and foster appreciation for all living creatures that share our planet.
