EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a hand-coloured etching with aquatint engraving of the Great Auk, created by renowned artist John James Audubon in 1836. The artwork measures an impressive 99.6x66.7 cm and is part of a private collection. The Great Auk, scientifically known as Alca Impennis, was a majestic seabird that sadly became extinct in the mid-19th century. Audubon's meticulous attention to detail brings this magnificent creature back to life on paper, capturing its essence and beauty for generations to admire. The image portrays two Great Auks swimming gracefully in their natural habitat, surrounded by the vastness of the sea and perched upon rocky outcrops. The hand colouring adds depth and vibrancy to their distinctive black and white plumage, making them truly stand out against the backdrop. Audubon's expertise as an illustrator shines through in this piece, showcasing his ability to capture not only the physical characteristics but also the personality and interaction between these remarkable birds. Their side profile allows us to appreciate every intricate detail while they face each other with curiosity or perhaps even affection. This print serves as a poignant reminder of our responsibility towards preserving nature's wonders for future generations. It invites us into a world where wildlife thrived abundantly before human intervention took its toll. Let it inspire us to cherish and protect our precious natural spaces today.
