New Horizons - "Building fora New Generation" by Robert H. Copple. First issue in the series. The Bradford Exchange, Production date 1995. Certificate of Authenticity. Plate Size approx 8 inches -- Suggested Retail $55.00
It is said that bald eagles get to choose the tallest trees available to build their nests — their breeding period precedes that of most other large raptors — and that they make little effort to hide their nest-building activities from view. As field biologists judge it, bald eagles may rely on their enormous size and characteristically aloof behavior to scare off intruders.
Although the male eagle in Robert R. Copple's "Building for a New Generation" is gripping a long twig in his powerful talons as he heads for the female's perch in the top branches of an old coniferous tree, nothing but one long stick (already propped in place in a triangular formation with the tree trunk and a major branch) gives away the location of this eagle's nest in the making.
The nest will he up to 10 feet (3m) in diameter, and up to 20 feet (6m) deep; of course, this sturdy home for the new generation of bald eagles will be used for several years. One secretly hopes that artist Robert R. Copple will return to this site — for it seems that he alone would have the talent and technique to depict the bald eagles' spectacular nest.
The creation of the fine collector's plate you have just acquired and whose authenticity is certified by this document is the result of work by an international cadre of skilled artisans. After the plate art was created in the United States, a fine ceramic transfer, incorporating pigments carefully chosen to faithfully re-create the vibrant beauty of the artist's original, was created in France and Germany and permanently fired into the fine Japanese porcelain plate body at more than 1,460° Fahrenheit by talented craftsmen and craftswomen in the United States.
