EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 312 from John James Audubon's iconic work, "Birds of America," showcases the captivating beauty of the Long-tailed Duck (Clangula hyemalis), also known as the Oldsquaw or Masked Duck. This exquisite illustration, part of the original double elephant folio printed between 1835 and 1838, is a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship of the time. The Plate was engraved, printed, and hand-colored by R. Havell (& Son) in London. The Long-tailed Duck is a member of the Anatidae family, characterized by its distinctive long, tapered tail. This dabbling duck is well adapted to living in cold, aquatic environments, with its dark plumage providing excellent camouflage among the rocks and underwater vegetation. The male is easily identified by its striking white underparts and black back, while the female sports a more muted, brownish-gray appearance. In this illustration, the Long-tailed Duck is depicted in its natural habitat, outside amongst the daytime elements. The intricate details of its plumage, down to the individual feathers, are beautifully rendered in the hand-colored aquatint. The duck's beady eyes, webbed feet, and the delicate curls of its downy chick are all brought to life through the masterful use of color. The Long-tailed Duck is a fascinating and elegant creature, and this stunning illustration serves as a reminder of the rich natural heritage that Audubon and his team captured during their groundbreaking work. The Long-tailed Duck continues to be a beloved species among birdwatchers and naturalists, and this Plate remains an enduring symbol of the beauty and diversity of the avian world.
