"Male and Female Long Billed Curlew (Numenius Americanus) with the City of Charleston behind" is a notable illustration by John James Audubon, a French-American naturalist, ornithologist, and painter, renowned for his detailed and dramatic representations of American birds in their natural habitats. This artwork is part of his seminal work, "The Birds of America," which is a collection of life-sized prints created from 1827 to 1838 and is considered one of the finest ornithological works ever completed.

The illustration depicts a pair of Long-billed Curlews, a large North American shorebird with a distinctive long, down-curved bill, standing in a naturalistic setting with the city of Charleston, South Carolina, visible in the background. Audubon's attention to detail not only captures the physical characteristics of the birds with scientific accuracy but also conveys their behavior and environment, offering viewers a glimpse into the life of this species during the early 19th century.

Audubon's technique involved first observing and hunting the birds, then posing them using wires to simulate a natural position. He would paint the birds with watercolors and sometimes pastels or oil paints. His illustrations were then engraved, printed, and hand-colored by Robert Havell Jr. and his team in London. "Male and Female Long Billed Curlew (Numenius Americanus) with the City of Charleston behind" stands out as a testament to Audubon's artistic skill and his dedication to documenting American avifauna. The work is emblematic of Audubon's influence on ornithology and art, as well as his contribution to the understanding and appreciation of bird species in their ecosystems.

The original plate from "The Birds of America" series is highly prized by collectors and institutions, and the image continues to be reproduced in various forms, reflecting its enduring appeal and significance in natural history illustration.
