EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the beauty and diversity of three flycatcher species - the Arkansaw Flycatcher, Swallow-tailed Flycatcher, and Says Flycatcher. Created by renowned naturalist John James Audubon in 1837, this coloured engraving is a testament to his meticulous attention to detail and passion for ornithology. The vibrant hues of these birds come alive on the page, thanks to Robert Havell Junior's skilled hand coloring technique. Each feather is meticulously rendered, capturing the unique characteristics of each species. The Arkansaw Flycatcher with its striking blue plumage stands out against the lush green foliage, while the Swallow-tailed Flycatcher displays its elegant black and white markings with grace. The delicate beauty of the Says Flycatcher is also showcased in this exquisite artwork. Audubon's Birds of America series remains an iconic contribution to natural history illustration. This particular plate from his extensive collection captures not only avian subjects but also includes intricate depictions of butterflies fluttering around these magnificent creatures. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC, USA, this print serves as a reminder of our rich biodiversity and highlights Audubon's significant contributions as both an artist and scientist. It offers viewers a glimpse into nineteenth-century wildlife exploration through its detailed etching techniques and accurate representation of American bird species. As we admire this stunning piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are transported back in time to witness nature's wonders through
