Image description

The Great White Heron is the largest of all the world's white herons, sometimes attaining a height of over four feet, It is therefore a tribute to Audubon's mastery of pictorial design (bat he was able to depict this fine specimen at life size nevertheless, Audubon first came upon these birds on Key West, Florida, in 1832. A view of the small town there appears in the background of this print, which was based on the watercolour painted on May 26 or that year.
