EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Tropic Bird, 1835" by Robert Havell takes us back to the enchanting world of 19th-century America. The image showcases a stunning aquatint and hand-colored engraving on Whatman wove paper, highlighting the artist's exceptional talent and attention to detail. Havell masterfully captures the essence of this magnificent seabird known as Phaeton Aethereus, commonly referred to as a tropic bird. With its vibrant colors and graceful form, the bird seems to come alive on the page. Every feather is meticulously depicted, showcasing Havell's skill in capturing nature's beauty. The artwork transports us to a time when ornithology was gaining prominence in scientific circles. John James Audubon himself recognized Havell's expertise and collaborated with him on several projects. This collaboration further solidified Havell's reputation as one of America's finest illustrators during this period. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D. C. , this print serves as a testament to both Havell's artistic prowess and his contribution to American art history. It invites viewers into an era where exploration and discovery were paramount. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded of our country’s rich natural heritage and encouraged to appreciate not only its diverse wildlife but also the immense talent that has captured it for generations past and present.
