EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-finished colour lithograph, titled "Black-tailed Hare" takes us back to the enchanting countryside of nineteenth-century North America. Created by American artist John Woodhouse Audubon and finished by hand, this print showcases Audubon's exceptional talent for capturing the beauty of wildlife. The image depicts a black-tailed hare cleverly concealed amidst its natural surroundings. The mid-nineteenth-century setting adds a touch of nostalgia, transporting us to a simpler time when nature was abundant and untouched. The intricate decorative technique employed in this lithograph enhances its visual appeal, making it an exquisite piece of art. As we observe the hare hiding in plain sight, we are reminded of the cunning and calculating nature of these creatures. With no person present in the scene, there is an air of mystery surrounding this solitary animal. Perhaps it is plotting or involved in some sort of conspiracy that remains hidden from our view. The attention to detail in this lithographic print is remarkable; every strand of fur and blade of grass has been meticulously engraved with precision. The vibrant colours bring life to the composition, showcasing Audubon's mastery as an illustrator. Overall, this artwork captures both the tranquility and intrigue found within nature. It serves as a testament to Audubon's artistic prowess and his dedication to preserving North America's diverse fauna through his renowned series "The Quadrupeds. "
