"Brown Pelican (plate Ccccxxi) Pelicanus Puscus" is a notable illustration by Robert I Havell, who is renowned for his work as the principal engraver of John James Audubon's "The Birds of America," which is considered one of the finest ornithological works ever completed. The illustration of the Brown Pelican is part of this monumental series, which was produced between 1827 and 1838. The plate, numbered 421 in Roman numerals (CCCCXXI), depicts the Brown Pelican, scientifically known as Pelecanus occidentalis, in a naturalistic setting that captures the bird's distinctive features and behavior.

Havell's contribution to Audubon's work involved the meticulous process of transferring Audubon's original watercolor paintings onto copperplate engravings. These engravings were then hand-colored, often by a team of colorists, under Havell's supervision. The resulting prints are celebrated for their accuracy, life-like quality, and artistic beauty, contributing significantly to the fields of ornithology and fine art.

The Brown Pelican illustration is particularly admired for its depiction of the bird's unique anatomy, including its large bill and throat pouch, as well as its graceful pose often associated with its coastal habitat. The work reflects both Havell's skill as an engraver and Audubon's keen observation as a naturalist, making it an important piece within the larger collection of "The Birds of America."

As a part of one of the most significant natural history collections of the 19th century, "Brown Pelican (plate Ccccxxi) Pelicanus Puscus" holds a place of esteem among historians, ornithologists, and art collectors alike. The original Havell edition prints are highly sought after and are held in the collections of major museums, libraries, and private collectors around the world.
