EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 100 from John James Audubon's seminal work, "Birds of America," features the stunning Tachycineta bicolor, commonly known as the Tree Swallow. This exquisite hand-coloured aquatint print, created between 1827 and 130, showcases the Tree Swallow in a dramatic and intricate display of detail. The swallow is depicted in mid-flight, its wings outstretched in a graceful pose, displaying the vibrant blue hues on its back and wings. The swallow's beak is open, suggesting it is in the process of feeding, adding a sense of action and life to the image. The Tree Swallow is a passerine bird belonging to the family Hirundinidae. It is characterized by its distinctive blue-green back and rufous underparts, with a forked tail and a long, pointed wing. The Tree Swallow is a sauropsid, a group of vertebrates that includes reptiles and birds, and is native to the Americas. The illustration is a testament to the masterful craftsmanship of Audubon and the skilled artisans at R. Havell (& Son) in London, who engraved, printed, and hand-coloured each plate. The intricate details of the Tree Swallow's feathers, the texture of the bark on the tree it perches on, and the delicate shading of the surrounding foliage are all rendered with remarkable precision and artistry. The Tree Swallow is a beloved bird, known for its agility and grace in flight, and its ability to nest in tree cavities or nest boxes. This image offers a glimpse into the natural world of over 200 years ago and serves as a reminder of the beauty and diversity of the avian world.
