EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of the Common Eider, also known as the Eider Duck (Somateria mollissima). Created by John James Audubon for his renowned Birds of America collection between 1827 and 1838, this engraving captures the essence of early American ornithology. The image depicts three vibrant Eider Ducks standing on a grassy seashore. Their colorful plumage is a testament to nature's artistry, with hues ranging from soft creams to rich browns. The ducks' webbed feet firmly planted on the ground suggest their connection to both land and water. One can almost imagine these wild creatures engaged in an animated conversation or perhaps preparing for an imminent flight. With wings neatly tucked against their sides and beaks poised gracefully, they exude a sense of elegance and grace. Audubon's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his engraving technique. Each feather seems meticulously rendered, capturing not only its texture but also its individuality within the broader context of this species. This print serves as a reminder that nature's wonders are timeless treasures worth cherishing. It invites us to appreciate the diversity and splendor found in our natural world while inspiring us to protect it for future generations.
