"Red Tailed Hawk (plate 51)" is a renowned illustration by Robert Havell II, an eminent British engraver and printer, best known for his collaboration with John James Audubon on the monumental work, "The Birds of America." This particular plate, depicting the Red-tailed Hawk (Buteo jamaicensis), is one of the 435 hand-colored, life-size prints that comprise the collection, which was published between 1827 and 1838. The illustration is celebrated for its meticulous detail, vibrant coloration, and dynamic composition, capturing the essence of the bird's majesty and predatory prowess.

Havell's engraving work on "The Birds of America" was instrumental in bringing Audubon's vision to life. The process involved transferring Audubon's original watercolor paintings onto copper plates, which were then etched and hand-colored. Havell's technical skill and artistic sensitivity ensured that each print retained the vividness and accuracy of Audubon's initial observations. The Red-tailed Hawk, a bird of prey native to North America, is depicted in a naturalistic pose, showcasing its distinctive red tail feathers, sharp talons, and keen eyes, which are characteristic features of this raptor.

The collaboration between Audubon and Havell is often hailed as a pinnacle of natural history illustration, combining scientific precision with artistic beauty. "The Birds of America" has had a lasting impact on both ornithology and art, with the Red-tailed Hawk (plate 51) standing out as a particularly striking example of the collection's overall excellence. The work not only serves as a valuable scientific record but also as a testament to the artistic achievements of the early 19th century.
