EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 332 from John James Audubon's renowned work, "Birds of America," features the Labrador Duck, Camptorhynchus labradorius, in stunning detail. This exquisite hand-coloured aquatint print, engraved and printed by R. Havell (& Son) of London, showcases the Labrador Duck in its natural habitat. The duck is depicted with its distinctive long, curved bill and webbed feet, standing on a mossy elm branch overhanging a calm body of water. The Labrador Duck, a resident of the northern parts of North America, is a member of the Anatidae family and is also known as the Long-tailed Duck or Oldsquaw. This illustration captures the bird in its daytime setting, with the sun casting a warm glow on its crown and back. The intricate details of the Labrador Duck's plumage, from its dark brown back and wings to its white underparts and black tail, are beautifully rendered in this masterful work of art. Audubon's "Birds of America" is considered a seminal work in the history of ornithology and natural history, and this Labrador Duck plate is a testament to the artist's dedication to accurately recording the natural world. The print measures approximately 29.5 x 22 inches and is in excellent condition, with vibrant hand-colouring that brings the Labrador Duck to life.
