EDITORS COMMENTS
Anas strepera, or the Gadwall, is depicted in this stunning hand-coloured aquatint plate from John James Audubon's iconic work, "Birds of America" (Plate 348). This exquisite illustration, created between 1835 and 1838, showcases the intricate details of this elegant waterfowl species. The image captures a pair of Gadwalls in their natural habitat, with their distinctive red and mottled plumage, webbed feet, and alert expressions. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the textured water surface, the subtle variations in feather colouration, and the intricate patterns on the birds' bills. This plate was engraved, printed, and hand-coloured by R. Havell & Son in London, ensuring a high level of artistic and technical excellence. The Gadwall is a medium-sized duck, belonging to the Anatidae family, and is native to North America, Europe, and Asia. They are named for the distinctive "gad" or "gadling" sound they make during courtship displays. This image captures the Gadwall in its daytime habitat, outside on a tranquil body of water, providing a captivating glimpse into the natural world of avian life during the Sauropsida era.
