EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "Common Cormorant, 1835" by renowned artist John James Audubon. The hand-coloured etching with aquatint engraving brings to life the exquisite details of this majestic bird. Measuring at an impressive 98.5x65.5 cm, this artwork is a true testament to Audubon's talent and dedication. The image captures a moment in time during the early nineteenth century, depicting a small group of Common Cormorants perched on a cliff along the coastline. The black plumage of these seabirds contrasts beautifully against the natural space surrounding them. Audubon's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his hand-colouring technique, adding depth and vibrancy to each feather and beak. This piece is part of his iconic series "The Birds of America" which remains one of the most celebrated ornithological works ever produced. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this artwork also serves as a reflection on social issues prevalent during that era – poverty and hardship are subtly conveyed through the destitute surroundings in which these birds find themselves. As we admire this stunning print from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are reminded not only of Audubon's artistic brilliance but also our responsibility to protect and appreciate nature's wonders all around us.
