Night Songs: The Loon collection, "Silently Nestled" by Jim Hansel. Sixth issue in the series. Bradford Exchange, 1994. Plate size approx. 8 inches. Suggested Retail Price $60.00.
The water of the lake gleams like royal blue satin under the pearly rays of the full moon. The trees, aspen, tamarack and spruce, stand like proud sentinels in the evening's tranquility. A fisherman sips coffee by the glow of a lantern, enjoying the peaceful solitude of his northern retreat.
Suddenly the quiet is pierced by an eerie, wavering cry that echoes across the waters like a mournful ghost. Startled out of his quiet reverie, the fisherman looks out across the dark lake and sees two old friends of his. A pair of ruby-eyed loons -- mates for life -drifts placidly across the water. On each of their dappled backs is snuggled a downy, gray chick.
The fisherman chuckles softly :it the sight. They look just like a human family out for a leisurely amble in the park, the two children gazing out from their strollers in curiosity and wonder at the world.
Acclaimed wildlife artist Jim Hansel transports you to that quiet, moonlit lake. Marvel at the haunting cry of the loon, just as Indians did ages ago when they believed these sacred birds delivered messages from the gods to those of us with the wisdom to understand.
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.
