EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that showcases the exquisite talent of Robert Havell, an esteemed American artist from the 19th century. This hand-colored engraving and aquatint on Whatman wove paper depicts a magnificent shorebird known as the Turnstone. With its vibrant colors and intricate details, this artwork truly brings nature to life. Havell's meticulous attention to detail allows us to appreciate every feather and contour of this wading bird. The Turnstone stands gracefully amidst its natural habitat, exuding a sense of tranquility and elegance. Its delicate features are beautifully captured through Havell's skillful use of color and shading. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported to another time - a time when ornithology was in its infancy and artists like Havell played a crucial role in documenting the diverse avian species found across America. Through his artistry, Havell not only educates us about these fascinating creatures but also instills within us a deep appreciation for their beauty. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , "Turn-stone, 1836" serves as a testament to both Audubon John James' legacy as an ornithologist and Robert Havell's mastery as an artist. It reminds us of our country's rich natural heritage while inspiring us to protect and cherish our wildlife for generations to come.
