EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the stunning beauty of the Aphelocoma coerulescens, commonly known as the Florida scrub jay. Taken from John James Audubon's renowned Birds of America collection, this hand-coloured aquatint is a true masterpiece in avian illustration. The vibrant blue feathers of the Florida scrub jay are brought to life with meticulous detail and precision. Perched gracefully on a branch, this majestic bird exudes elegance and charm. Its keen eyes reflect intelligence and curiosity as it gazes into the distance. Intriguingly, this illustration also highlights an interaction between nature's wonders - the Florida scrub jay delicately holds a piece of fruit from the Diospyros angiosperm tree in its beak. This symbiotic relationship between bird and flowering plant showcases Mother Nature's intricate balance. Audubon's attention to detail extends beyond just capturing the beauty of this species; he provides us with valuable scientific information about its classification within various taxonomic groups such as dicotyledons, eudicots, corvidae, ericales, asterids, magnoliophyta – enriching our understanding of both flora and fauna. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork by R. Havell (& Son), London – engraved meticulously by skilled hands – we are transported into Audubon's world where birds come alive through artistry. The exquisite combination of coloration and technique makes this print a timeless treasure for any admirer of natural history
