EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 271 from John James Audubon's seminal work, "Birds of America," showcases the magnificent frigatebird, Fregata magnificens, in a breathtaking display of avian grace and power. This hand-coloured aquatint, engraved, printed, and coloured by R. Havell (& Son) of London, captures the dramatic essence of this enigmatic bird. The magnificent frigatebird, a member of the Fregatidae family, is renowned for its distinctive forked tail and elongated, curved beak. In this illustration, the frigatebird is depicted in mid-flight, its wings outstretched, and its beak open, as if in the midst of a dramatic call. The vibrant colours of the print bring the bird's intricately detailed plumage to life, from the glossy black feathers of its back to the iridescent green and purple sheen of its wings. The magnificent frigatebird is a pelagic bird, spending most of its life over the open ocean. It is known for its ability to fly for long periods without flapping its wings, soaring on the wind currents. This bird is also famous for its unusual mating rituals, where males inflate a red pouch under their throat during the breeding season to attract females. Audubon's "Birds of America" is considered a masterpiece in the field of ornithology, and this magnificent frigatebird plate is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail and artistic skill of the time. The intricate engraving and hand-colouring techniques used in the print bring the bird to life, making it a must-have for any serious bird enthusiast or art collector.
