Sandwich Tern

About this work

This bird stands on a rocky shore, one foot lifted like it’s about to take flight. Its feathers are mostly white, with gray wings and a black cap on its head. Below it, a crab shell and a seashell lie on the sand, while the ocean stretches out in the background. The bird’s name is written under it: *Sandwich Tern*. The artist used fine lines and shading to make the feathers look real. Next, look up engraving to see how artists like this one carved detailed images into metal plates.
