EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning and intricately detailed print showcases the elegant form of the Brent Goose, or Branta bernicla, in its natural habitat. Part of Plate 391 from John James Audubon's legendary work, "Birds of America," this hand-coloured aquatint was engraved, printed, and coloured by R. Havell (& Son) in London between 1835 and 1838. The Brent Goose, also known as the Brant, is a medium-sized goose belonging to the Anatidae family. Known for their distinctive black and white plumage, these birds are commonly found in the northern hemisphere, migrating between their Arctic breeding grounds and their wintering areas along the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of North America. In this image, a pair of Brent Geese are displayed in the daytime, their graceful necks curved in a elegant S-shape as they stand outside in the water. The intricate details of their feet and webbed toes are beautifully rendered, providing a glimpse into the anatomy of these fascinating birds. The vibrant colours of the print bring the scene to life, with the rich hues of the geese's plumage contrasting against the cool tones of the water and the surrounding landscape. Audubon's "Birds of America" is considered one of the greatest achievements in the history of natural history illustration, and this print is a testament to the skill and dedication of the artist and the craftsmen who brought it to life. A true masterpiece of avian art, it continues to captivate and inspire viewers over two centuries after its creation.
