EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "White-crowned Pigeon, 1833" by Robert Havell takes us back to the enchanting world of 19th-century America. The image showcases the exquisite artistry and attention to detail that defined this era. The White-crowned Pigeon, with its elegant plumage and regal presence, is beautifully captured in this hand-colored engraving and aquatint on Whatman wove paper. Havell's skillful technique brings out the vibrant colors of the bird, making it come alive on the page. As we gaze upon this artwork at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D. C. , we are transported to a time when ornithology was gaining prominence as a scientific field. John James Audubon's influence can be seen here through his collaboration with Havell on various bird illustrations. The composition exudes a sense of tranquility as we witness nature's beauty frozen in time. Every feather is meticulously rendered, showcasing both artistic mastery and an appreciation for these magnificent creatures. This print serves as a testament to the rich heritage of American art and highlights our country's deep connection with nature. It reminds us of our responsibility to preserve and protect these delicate species for future generations. Through Havell's lens, we are reminded that even amidst rapid industrialization and urbanization during the 19th century, there was still room for admiration and reverence towards our natural surroundings.
