EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunningly detailed and vibrant image is Plate 71 from John James Audubon's iconic work, "Birds of America." The featured bird is the Red-shouldered Hawk (Buteo lineatus), a bird of prey native to the Americas. The hawk is depicted in mid-flight, its sharp eyes fixed intently on its prey below - a Bullfrog (Rana maxima), a large, powerful amphibian belonging to the Anura order and the family Ranidae. The hawk's wings are spread wide, displaying the intricate patterns and textures of its feathers, while its red shoulders are prominently displayed against the contrasting blue sky. The illustration, created between 1827 and 1830, was engraved, printed, and hand-colored by the renowned London firm of R. Havell (& Son). The use of the aquatint technique, a complex and labor-intensive process, allowed for the creation of rich, tonal depth and texture in the image. The resulting print is a breathtaking testament to the natural world, showcasing the beauty and intricacy of these two distinct species. The Red-shouldered Hawk, a member of the Accipitridae family and the Accipitriformes order, is a versatile and adaptable bird of prey. It can be found in various habitats, from forests to wetlands, and feeds on a diverse diet, including fish, reptiles, rodents, and insects. The Bullfrog, a member of the Lissamphibia class and the Neobatrachia order, is a powerful and agile amphibian, capable of changing its coloration to blend in with its surroundings. It is a vital part of many aquatic ecosystems, serving as both a predator and prey. This image is a reminder of the intricate relationships that exist within the natural world and the beauty that can be found in the smallest details. It is a testament to the skill and artistry of John James Audubon and the team at R. Havell (& Son) and stands as a timeless piece of natural history.
