The vivid blue, green, and brown plumage, combined with the distinctive broad orange bill and feet, showcases the artistic and scientific precision characteristic of Johann Michael Seligmann's ornithological works.

The Latin and French titles (*Canard d'Amerique au grand bec*) reflect its global appeal during the Enlightenment.
