EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of the Forked-tail Flycatcher, an enchanting bird species captured in 1833 by the talented artist Robert Havell. The intricate details and vibrant colors of this hand-colored engraving and aquatint on Whatman wove paper truly bring this magnificent creature to life. The Forked-tail Flycatcher, known for its distinctive forked tail feathers, is depicted perched delicately on a branch amidst lush foliage. Its elegant form and striking plumage make it a true marvel of nature. This artwork not only celebrates the remarkable talent of Havell but also serves as a testament to Audubon John James' contribution to ornithology. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, this piece takes viewers back to 19th-century America, offering a glimpse into both artistic and scientific pursuits during that era. The collaboration between Havell and Audubon resulted in an extraordinary illustration that continues to captivate audiences today. As we admire this print, let us appreciate not only the artistry involved but also recognize the importance of preserving our natural heritage. Through his work, Havell reminds us of the delicate balance between humans and wildlife while inspiring us with his masterful depiction of one small yet significant part of our vast ecosystem - the Forked-tail Flycatcher.
