Night Songs: The Loon collection, "Peaceful Waters" by Jim Hansel. Fifth issue in the series. Bradford Exchange, 1994. Plate size approx. 8 inches. Suggested Retail Price $60.00.
The moon sails serenely in the night sky as the fisherman steadily rows his boat to his lucky spot. Suddenly the quiet is pierced by an eerie, warbling cry, echoing across the waters like the lament of a sorrowing soul. The fisherman looks up, startled, and sees a mother loon with her two downy chicks, curiously watching him from a mere ten yards away.
His gaze meets her ruby eyes, and a silent acknowledgment and respect seems to pass between them. The fisherman sets the oars in the locks and drops anchor—for if the wise and skilled loon is here seeking food for her young, he knows the fishing will be good.
Noted wildlife artist Jim Hansel preserves the fascinating legends and beauty of the loon in "Peaceful Waters," fifth issue in the Night Song: The Loon collection.
Mr. Hansel's lifelike masterpiece transports you into that lamplit boat at midnight to hear the loon's mysterious call. Among the silver-laced aspen, birch, and white poplar trees, and the slumbering gray boulders, a solitary fisherman can almost believe, as did the Inuit (Eskimos), that the majestic loon is a messenger of the gods.
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.
