"Arctic Tern (plate Ccl) Sterna Arctica" is a notable illustration by Robert Havell Jr., who is renowned for his work as the principal engraver of John James Audubon's "The Birds of America," a seminal collection in ornithological art. The plate, numbered 250 in the series, depicts the Arctic Tern (Sterna paradisaea), a bird known for its remarkable migratory journey, the longest of any animal, stretching from its breeding grounds in the Arctic to the Antarctic and back each year.

The illustration is characterized by its meticulous attention to detail and lifelike portrayal of the Arctic Tern in its natural habitat. Havell's expertise in engraving and coloring, which he applied to each of Audubon's bird plates, is evident in the delicate lines and accurate representation of the tern's plumage, posture, and environment. The artwork not only serves as a scientific record of the species but also stands as a testament to the artistic skill and dedication to ornithological study during the 19th century.

Robert Havell Jr.'s contributions to "The Birds of America" were instrumental in bringing Audubon's vision to life, with the Arctic Tern plate being a prime example of the collaboration between artist and engraver. The work remains significant in the history of natural history illustration and continues to be appreciated by both art enthusiasts and ornithologists for its beauty and scientific value.
