EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 132 from John James Audubon's monumental work, "Birds of America," features the striking image of the Black-backed Woodpecker, Picoides arcticus, in intricate detail. This hand-colored aquatint engraving, produced by R. Havell (& Son) in London between 1831 and 1834, showcases the bird perched on a tree trunk, its bold black and white plumage contrasting sharply against the lush green foliage. The Black-backed Woodpecker, a member of the sauropsida class and the piciform order, is identified by its distinctive yellow markings on the forehead and its large, powerful beak, which it uses to excavate insects from decaying trees. The woodpecker's intense focus is captured in the illustration, as it pecks at the tree with great determination. The intricate branches and textured bark of the tree are also rendered in exquisite detail, adding depth and dimension to the image. The Black-backed Woodpecker is a unique and fascinating creature, and this beautiful illustration serves as a testament to Audubon's unparalleled skill as a naturalist and artist. The use of the aquatint technique, which allowed for a wide range of tonal values and subtle shading, further enhances the realism and beauty of the image.
