アメリカヤマドリ
1827-1838
John James Audubon brings the forest floor to life with these dramatic Ruffed Grouse, captured mid-display as they flare their magnificent tail feathers and neck ruffs toward a tempting cluster of berries. Unlike the stiff, profile-view birds of earlier scientific illustrations, Audubon famously wired his freshly killed specimens into dynamic, lifelike poses to show them exactly as they appeared in the wild. This stunning plate is part of his legendary 'The Birds of America', a massive project that required him to trek through the untamed American wilderness to document over 400 species.
