This beautiful ornithological image by John James Audubon* has been carefully chosen from the original colour-plates in the antiquarian book, ‘The Birds of America (1827-1839)’.

These original water-colour paintings were reproduced in colour for the first time from the collection of The New-York Historical Society. We found the stunning book at auction and and fell in love.

 

It is considered one of the finest ornithological works ever completed. Audubon identified 25 new species.

 

*John James Audubon was an American ornithologist, naturalist and painter. He was notable for his extensive studies documenting all types of American birds and for his detailed illustrations that depicted the birds in their natural habitats.

 

Each colour plate is beautifully presented in a hand painted frame.

 

Sold individually. Gorgeous on its own or hung as a set.

 

Dimensions: 36cm x 28cm
