John James Audubon (1785-1851), Snowy owls, c. 1830, Engraving, 95 x 63,5 cm, National Museum of Wildlife Art
A pleasing look at the thematic use of nature and wild animals in 19th century graphic art. This draws on the museum's own interesting collection, with work by Delacroix, John Singleton Copley as well as (lesser-known) artists like the American ornithologist John James Audubon (pictured).
