EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 220 from John James Audubon's renowned work, "Birds of America," features the captivating image of a Piping Plover (Charadrius melodus), a small shorebird belonging to the Charadriidae family. This exquisite print, measuring an impressive long dimension of 39.4 inches, is a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship of the time. Engraved, printed, and hand-colored by R. Havell (& Son) in London between 1834 and 1835, each detail of this aquatint illustration is brought to life with remarkable precision. The Piping Plover, with its distinctive long, collar-like neck feathers and black and white plumage, is shown in its natural habitat, standing on a sandy shore with the vast expanse of the sea stretching out behind it. The bird is named for its distinctive call, which sounds like a piping or whistling noise. This image captures the bird in its daytime attire, with a ring on its leg for identification. As a member of the Charadriiformes order, the Piping Plover is part of the larger group of birds that includes gulls, terns, and sandpipers. The Sauropsida classification identifies this bird as a reptile-descended vertebrate, with backbones and limbs. The Piping Plover is an important species of shorebird, and its population has faced challenges due to habitat loss and human disturbance. This beautiful illustration serves not only as a work of art but also as a reminder of the importance of preserving these delicate and fascinating creatures. This stunning print, with its intricate details and vibrant colors, is a must-have for any serious collector of natural history or birding memorabilia. Its timeless beauty and historical significance make it a cherished addition to any home or office, serving as a reminder of the natural wonders that surround us.
