EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of Robert Havell, a renowned American artist from the 19th century. Titled "Sooty Tern, 1834" this hand-colored engraving and aquatint on Whatman wove paper captures the beauty of a seabird known as the Sooty Tern (Sterna fuliginosa). Havell's attention to detail is evident in every stroke, bringing this magnificent creature to life with vibrant colors and intricate textures. The Sooty Tern gracefully glides through the air, its wings outstretched against a backdrop of clear blue skies. Its sleek black feathers contrast beautifully with its white underbelly, creating an elegant visual spectacle. As one gazes upon this stunning piece of art, it becomes apparent that Havell possessed not only artistic talent but also a deep appreciation for nature. His work serves as both an homage to these fascinating creatures and an invitation for viewers to marvel at their splendor. Displayed proudly in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , this print stands as a testament to Havell's contribution to ornithology illustration during his time. It transports us back to a bygone era when artists like Havell dedicated themselves to capturing the essence of wildlife through their masterful creations. With each glance at this remarkable print, we are reminded of our connection with nature and inspired by its boundless wonders.
