EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored aquatint print showcases the vibrant plumage and distinctive anatomy of the Scarlet Ibis, Eudocimus ruber, as depicted in Plate 397 from John James Audubon's iconic work, "Birds of America" (1835-38). Engraved, printed, and hand-colored by R. Havell & Son in London, this exquisite illustration captures the immature bird in its pink and grey feathers, standing gracefully with its curved, downward-pointing bill and long, slender legs. The Scarlet Ibis is a wading bird belonging to the pelecaniform order, Aves, and is native to the Caribbean and parts of South America. This illustration highlights the intricate details of the bird's anatomy, from the delicate quills of its feathers to the intricacies of its beak and legs. The Scarlet Ibis is known for its striking appearance, with its bright red plumage contrasting against its long, slender legs and bill. This print captures the bird in its daytime habitat, outside in the natural world. The use of hand-coloring adds depth and dimension to the print, bringing the Scarlet Ibis to life in a way that a black and white illustration could not. This print is a testament to the artistry and dedication of John James Audubon and the skilled craftsmanship of R. Havell & Son. It is a beautiful example of the meticulous attention to detail and commitment to accuracy that characterized the Birds of America project. Whether appreciated for its aesthetic value or its scientific significance, this print is a treasure for any collection of natural history or ornithology.
