EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunningly beautiful and intricately detailed print showcases the vibrant colors and distinctive features of the Red-winged Blackbird (Agelaius phoeniceus). Plate 420 from John James Audubon's Birds of America, originally published between 1835 and 1838, captures this passerine bird in all its glory. The original double elephant folio, hand-colored aquatint was engraved, printed, and colored by R. Havell (& Son) in London. The Red-winged Blackbird is a sauropsid, belonging to the order Passeriformes, and the family Icteridae. Known for their iconic red and yellow wing patches, these birds are commonly found in North and Central America. In this illustration, the Red-winged Blackbird is depicted perched gracefully on a branch, its bright eyes fixed intently on the viewer. The intricate details of its feathers, beak, and legs are beautifully rendered, showcasing the artist's mastery of the medium. Audubon's Birds of America is considered one of the greatest works of natural history, featuring life-size illustrations of over 435 North American bird species. Each plate was created with the utmost care and attention to detail, resulting in a collection that remains a testament to the beauty and diversity of the avian world. This print of the Red-winged Blackbird is a prime example of the extraordinary artistry and scientific accuracy found within the pages of this iconic work.
