EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning and intricately detailed print showcases four distinctive seabirds from the ancient world, captured in exquisite detail by the renowned naturalist John James Audubon. The centerpiece of this composition is the Synthliboramphus antiquus, or Ancient Murrelet, a small, elusive auklet with a distinctive crest and a unique ability to fly long distances over open water. Flanking the Murrelet are two species of Aethia, the Crested Auklet (A. cristatella) and the Little Auklet (A. pusilla), both characterized by their compact size, webbed feet, and distinctive crests. The fourth bird, the Cerorhinca monocerata, or the Horned Puffin, is easily identified by its large, colorful bill and distinctive eye markings. Audubon's masterful depiction of these birds in their natural habitat is a testament to his unwavering dedication to documenting the natural world. The hand-coloured aquatint technique used by R. Havell & Son in London brings each bird to life, capturing the intricacies of their plumage and anatomy. The birds are shown in their daytime habitat, providing a glimpse into their everyday lives. This print is an essential addition to any collection of ornithological art and a reminder of the rich biodiversity that exists in our oceans.
