EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored aquatint print of Phoenicopterus ruber, or the Greater Flamingo, is Plate 431 from the renowned collection "Birds of America" by John James Audubon. Created between 1835 and 1838, this exquisite work of art was produced using the intricate technique of aquatint, which allowed for the subtle rendering of feather textures and anatomical details. The print was engraved, printed, and hand-colored by R. Havell & Son in London. The Greater Flamingo is depicted in its natural habitat, standing gracefully in a shallow body of water with a flock of its kind. Their long, pink legs and necks are fully extended, blending seamlessly with the rosy hue of the water and the surrounding landscape. The flamingos are in the process of feeding, bending their distinctive, curved beaks to filter water and extract small organisms. The anatomy of the Greater Flamingo is beautifully illustrated, with careful attention paid to the intricacies of its feathers, beak, and legs. This print is a testament to Audubon's unwavering dedication to capturing the natural world with meticulous detail and artistic flair. As members of the Phoenicopteridae family and the order Phoenicopteriformes, Greater Flamingos are distinctive birds found in various parts of the world, including the Americas. They are characterized by their pink coloration, long legs, and unique feeding behavior. This print offers a captivating glimpse into the world of these elegant and fascinating creatures, immortalized in the pages of Audubon's Birds of America.
