EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Shoveller Duck, 1836" showcases the remarkable talent of American artist Robert Havell. Created in the 19th century, this hand-colored engraving and aquatint on Whatman wove paper beautifully captures the essence of these magnificent waterfowl. The image depicts a male and female Shoveller Duck gracefully floating on calm waters. The vibrant colors bring life to their intricate plumage, highlighting every detail with precision. The artist's attention to anatomical accuracy is evident as he portrays the ducks' distinctive beaks, which resemble spatulas. Havell's mastery lies not only in his artistic technique but also in his ability to convey a sense of tranquility through this piece. The ducks appear serene and at ease amidst their natural habitat, evoking a feeling of harmony between man and nature. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D. C. , this print stands as a testament to Havell's contribution to ornithology illustration during that era. It serves as both an educational tool for bird enthusiasts and an exquisite work of art appreciated by all who visit the gallery. With its rich history and cultural significance, "Shoveller Duck" allows us to appreciate America's diverse wildlife heritage while reminding us of our responsibility to protect these precious creatures for future generations.
