EDITORS COMMENTS

Plate 337 from John James Audubon's seminal work, "Birds of America," showcases the enchanting American Bittern (Botaurus lentiginosus). This exquisite hand-coloured aquatint print, created between 1835 and 1838, is a testament to the meticulous artistry of the era. Engraved, printed, and hand-coloured by R. Havell (& Son) in London, this piece is a masterful representation of the bird's intricate details. The American Bittern, a member of the Sauropsida class, Pelecaniformes order, and Ardeidae family, is depicted in its natural habitat, outside, during daytime. The mottled, striped plumage of this sauropsid bird is on full display, with its cryptic colouring providing excellent camouflage among the marshy vegetation. The bird's distinctive, elongated neck and downward-pointing bill are also clearly visible, making it an instantly recognizable species. The American Bittern is a fascinating avian creature, known for its unique hunting techniques. It waits motionless in the marsh, using its bill to create a series of loud, booming sounds that mimic the calls of other birds, luring unsuspecting prey towards it. This stealthy hunter is a true master of disguise, blending seamlessly into its surroundings and striking with lightning speed when an opportunity arises. This print not only showcases the beauty and intricacy of the American Bittern but also serves as a window into the natural world of the past. The hand-coloured aquatint technique brings the bird to life, making it a true work of art that continues to inspire and captivate viewers today.
