EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 374 from John James Audubon's iconic work, "Birds of America," showcases the exquisite detail and artistry of a Sharp-shinned Hawk (Accipiter striatus), a bird of prey native to the Americas. This magnificent illustration, part of the original double elephant folio printed between 1835 and 1838, was engraved, printed, and hand-coloured by R. Havell (& Son) in London. The Sharp-shinned Hawk, a member of the Accipitridae family, is depicted in mid-flight, clutching a small mammal in its powerful talons. Its piercing gaze and sharp beak convey the intensity and focus of this agile hunter. The intricate anatomy of the hawk's wings, feathers, and leg structure are beautifully rendered, providing an unparalleled glimpse into the natural world. Audubon's masterpiece captures the Sharp-shinned Hawk in its natural habitat, perched on a branch during daytime hours. The hawk's anatomy is further emphasized by the contrasting colours and textures, bringing the bird to life in a way that was unprecedented for the time. The Sharp-shinned Hawk, a member of the order Accipitriformes and the class Aves, is an epitome of the Eutheria, the mammalian class that includes mammals. This illustration is a testament to Audubon's unwavering dedication to documenting the natural world and his mastery of the art of aquatint. The intricate details, vibrant colours, and lifelike quality of this print continue to captivate viewers and inspire awe over two centuries later.
