About this artwork

This plate from The Birds of America shows a male and a female Goosander, also called the Buff-breasted Merganser, beside a waterfall. It is a hand-coloured lithograph, numbered Plate 411, and was printed by J.T. Bowen in Philadelphia. It comes from the 1840–1844 edition of the book, which carries the subtitle "from drawings made in the United States and their territories". Audubon was a naturalist and ornithologist who set out to make a full pictorial record of the bird species of North America, and this plate belongs to that wider project.

On your wall: The natural subject and water setting suit a study, hallway, or living room, particularly where a calm, nature-themed arrangement of prints is wanted.

About John James Audubon

John James Audubon was a French-American artist, naturalist and ornithologist. He combined his love of painting with his interest in birds, aiming to record every bird species of North America in pictures. His detailed illustrations were engraved in Scotland and England for The Birds of America, published between 1827 and 1838.
