EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 322 from John James Audubon's renowned work, "Birds of America," features the vibrant and striking Redhead duck, Aythya americana. This exquisite hand-coloured aquatint print, engraved, printed, and coloured by R. Havell (& Son) of London, showcases the intricate details of this beautiful waterfowl species. The Redhead duck is depicted in its natural habitat, with its distinctive red head and neck contrasting against its dark brown body. Its webbed feet are spread out in the water, and its alert head turns to gaze at the viewer, revealing its expressive eyes and distinctive beak. The intricate feather patterns on its body and wings are meticulously rendered, highlighting the remarkable anatomy of this bird. Audubon's "Birds of America" is considered a seminal work in the history of ornithology and natural history illustration. The double elephant folio edition, published between 1835 and 1838, is renowned for its exceptional size and detail, making it a prized possession for collectors and scholars alike. The Redhead duck is a member of the Anatidae family, order Anseriformes, and class Sauropsida. It is a common bird found in North America, particularly in the Great Plains and western United States. This image captures the Redhead duck in its daytime habitat, providing a glimpse into the natural world of this fascinating avian species.
