EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 293 from John James Audubon's renowned work, "Birds of America," showcases the intricately detailed illustration of the Horned Puffin, or Fratercula corniculata. This stunning hand-coloured aquatint print, engraved, printed, and coloured by R. Havell (& Son) of London, captures the unique features of this charismatic seabird. The Horned Puffin, a member of the auk family and the order Charadriiformes, is easily recognizable by its distinctive orange bill and ear-like tufts, giving it the appearance of wearing a horned cap. The long, narrow body of this bird is expertly rendered, with each feather meticulously depicted. The anatomy of the Horned Puffin is displayed in all its glory, with its large, expressive brown eyes and long, curved beak. The illustration provides a detailed look at the bird's feet, which are webbed and adapted for swimming and diving in the frigid waters of the North Atlantic. The Horned Puffin is a daytime bird, spending most of its life at sea, only coming ashore to breed. This beautiful print is a testament to the artistry and dedication of John James Audubon and the skilled craftsmanship of R. Havell (& Son). It is a valuable addition to any collection of natural history or ornithology, providing a window into the natural world and the fascinating diversity of avian species.
