EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 331 from John James Audubon's iconic work, "Birds of America," showcases the striking beauty and intricate details of the Common Merganser (Mergus merganser), also known as the Goosander. This hand-coloured aquatint print, engraved, printed, and coloured by R. Havell (& Son) in London between 1835 and 1838, captures the Common Merganser in its natural habitat during daytime hours. The Common Merganser is a large, distinctive duck species belonging to the Anatidae family, with a distinctive crest of elongated, stiff, and pointed feathers on its head. The male, depicted in this print, is characterized by its green and brown plumage, a long, thin, serrated bill, and webbed feet. The female, not shown here, has a more muted coloration with a brown head and neck. The Common Merganser is a skilled diver and an adept swimmer, often found near fast-flowing water such as rapids, waterfalls, or rocky shores. The print beautifully illustrates the bird's geomorphology, showcasing its streamlined body and powerful legs, which help it navigate through the water with ease. Audubon's meticulous attention to detail and his ability to capture the essence of each bird in its natural environment has made "Birds of America" an enduring masterpiece. This stunning print of the Common Merganser is a testament to Audubon's unwavering dedication to documenting the natural world and preserving its beauty for future generations.
