EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored aquatint print, Plate 259 from John James Audubon's iconic work "Birds of America," showcases the captivating beauty of the Slavonian Grebe, Podiceps auritus. The bird is depicted in its natural habitat, outside, during a sunny day. With its unique horn-like tufts on its head and distinctive brown plumage, the Slavonian Grebe, also known as the Horned Grebe, is a striking member of the sauropsida class, specifically the podicipediformes order and podicipidae family. The intricate details of the Slavonian Grebe's anatomy are masterfully captured in this artwork, with its webbed feet and elongated neck perfectly illustrated. The artist has expertly rendered the subtle textures of the bird's feathers, creating a lifelike image that transports the viewer to the serene waterside environment where this bird thrives. The Slavonian Grebe is a waterbird that can be found in Europe, Asia, and North America. It is a skilled diver, able to plunge deep into the water to catch its prey. This print captures the bird in a moment of stillness, with one foot raised, as if ready to take flight or dive back into the water. The print was engraved, printed, and hand-colored by R. Havell & Son in London between 1834 and 1835. The use of the aquatint technique allowed for a high level of detail and tonal depth, resulting in an exquisite and accurate representation of the Slavonian Grebe. This work of art is a testament to the skill and dedication of Audubon and his team, and remains an enduring masterpiece in the field of ornithological illustration.
