"Anser Bernicla" is a notable work by Robert II Havell, an esteemed British engraver and painter, recognized primarily for his collaboration with John James Audubon on the monumental "The Birds of America" series. Havell's expertise in aquatint engraving significantly contributed to the high quality and enduring legacy of Audubon's ornithological illustrations. "Anser Bernicla," also known as the Brant Goose, is one of the many avian subjects meticulously depicted in this series.

Havell's rendition of "Anser Bernicla" exemplifies his exceptional skill in capturing the intricate details and natural beauty of bird species. The Brant Goose, a small, dark goose with a distinctive white neck patch, is portrayed with remarkable accuracy and lifelike detail. The illustration not only highlights the physical characteristics of the bird but also places it within a naturalistic setting, reflecting the habitat in which the species is typically found. This approach aligns with the broader objectives of "The Birds of America," which aimed to provide both scientific accuracy and artistic beauty.

The collaboration between Havell and Audubon was pivotal in the production of "The Birds of America," a project that spanned over a decade from 1827 to 1838. Havell's technical proficiency in engraving allowed for the successful translation of Audubon's original watercolor paintings into printed plates, which were then hand-colored. This labor-intensive process resulted in some of the most celebrated and influential ornithological illustrations in history.

"Anser Bernicla" stands as a testament to Havell's contribution to natural history art and his role in one of the most ambitious and revered publications of the 19th century. The work continues to be admired for its artistic merit and its importance in the documentation and study of avian species.
