Description

Two Horned Puffins are depicted against a misty coastal seascape — one bird stands upright on a dark rock displaying its striking black-and-white plumage and vivid orange-yellow beak, while a second floats on the water below in a tucked, diving posture. The composition radiates the precise naturalist elegance that defines Audubon's celebrated 'Birds of America' (1827–1838), the monumental double-elephant folio that revolutionized ornithological illustration. Plate CCXCIII captures the species in characteristic habitat, conveying both scientific accuracy and painterly grace.
