New Horizons - "Majestic Wings" by Robert H. Copple. Sixth and Final issue in the series. The Bradford Exchange, Production date 1995. Certificate of Authenticity. Plate Size approx 8 inches -- Suggested Retail $55.00
Surely one of the world's most magnificent birds, the red-tailed hawk exhibits all of the natural characteristics essential to the
falconiformes, the hawk family to which it belongs.
What word besides "majestic" could possibly describe the compact head, the strong arched hill, the massive claws, the legs feathered down to the toes, the distinctive red tail from which it derives its name, and of course, the enormous wingspan? Created through eons of fierce competition and daily tests of survival, this predatory raptor is one that few smaller birds can escape.
Using his famous Illusionary hnages® technique—combining his fine-art painting and nature photography into a single dramatic portrait—Robert H. Copple creates an astonishingly powerful image. He captures the mighty red-tailed hawk as it floats effortlessly toward a fence for a moment of rest. What an integral part of the landscape this hawk is—a natural predator in a landscape of great beauty, yet undeniable harshness.
"Majestic Wings" is a thrilling finale to Mr. Copple's extraordinary New Horizons collection.
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.
