Striking natural history illustration of the Scarlet Ibis (Eudocimus ruber), reproduced from Birds of America by John James Audubon (1785–1851) and etched by Robert Havell (1793–1878). This plate exemplifies the refined collaboration between Audubon and Havell, whose engravings are noted for their clarity, depth, and faithful translation of Audubon’s original compositions.

The composition presents two Scarlet Ibises in contrasting plumage, highlighting both vivid coloration and anatomical distinction. The balanced coastal setting and subtle horizon emphasize scale, posture, and interaction, underscoring Audubon’s ability to combine scientific accuracy with visual narrative.
