EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 264 from John James Audubon's renowned work, "Birds of America," features the Northern Fulmar, Fulmarus glacialis, in stunning detail. This exquisite hand-coloured aquatint print, engraved, printed, and coloured by R. Havell (& Son) of London, showcases the Northern Fulmar perched on a rocky outcrop, its distinctive features on full display. The Northern Fulmar, a member of the Procellariidae family and the order Procellariiformes, is a tubenose seabird that is well adapted to life at sea. Its unique nostrils, located at the base of its long, tubular beak, allow it to breathe while its head is submerged in water. In this image, the Northern Fulmar is shown in its daytime resting pose, with its wings folded neatly behind it and its feet securely gripping the rock. Its plumage, a mix of dark and light grey, blends seamlessly with the rugged, windswept seascape behind it. Audubon's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the intricate engraving and vibrant hand-colouring, which bring out the subtle textures and patterns of the Northern Fulmar's feathers and the rough surface of the rock. The print also captures the sense of isolation and ruggedness of the bird's coastal habitat, with the vast expanse of the sea stretching out behind it. As one of the most iconic works in the history of ornithology, "Birds of America" remains a testament to Audubon's unwavering dedication to documenting the natural world. This beautiful print of the Northern Fulmar is a testament to that legacy, offering a glimpse into the beauty and diversity of the avian world.
