EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Louisiana Tanager and Scarlet Tanager, 1837" showcases the remarkable talent of Robert Havell. Created in the 19th century, this hand-colored engraving and aquatint on Whatman wove paper transports us to a time when American ornithologist John James Audubon roamed the country documenting its diverse bird species. In this exquisite artwork, Havell masterfully captures two vibrant songbirds - the Louisiana Tanager and Scarlet Tanager. The colors burst forth from the page, revealing their striking plumage in all its glory. The Louisiana Tanager's deep red feathers blend harmoniously with its black wings and tail, while the Scarlet Tanager boasts a brilliant scarlet body contrasting against jet-black wings. The attention to detail is awe-inspiring; every feather seems delicately etched onto the paper. As we gaze upon these avian wonders, we are reminded of nature's boundless beauty and diversity. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , this print serves as a testament to both Audubon's groundbreaking work in ornithology and Havell's exceptional artistic skill. It transports us back to a bygone era when art was painstakingly crafted by hand. As we admire this piece today, it reminds us of our connection with nature and encourages us to appreciate and protect our precious wildlife heritage for future generations.
