Engraved by Robert Havell in 1827, 'The Bird of Washington or Great American Sea Eagle' represents a monumental moment in ornithological history and classical American naturalism. John James Audubon's dramatic depiction of this magnificent raptor captures the raw, untamed spirit of the early American wilderness with architectural precision and scientific rigor. This historic plate, rendered with exquisite detail, is reproduced here with absolute fidelity to the original engraving. Every format, including our premium canvas, is finished with a consistent, clean white gallery border that floats the artwork in standard proportions with no cropping, offering a refined, gallery-ready presentation that honors the print's archival legacy.
About Your Border
Every format — Fine Art Print, Framed Fine Art Print, Canvas and Framed Canvas — is supplied with a clean white gallery border framing the image on all four sides. The border is sized in proportion to the piece — approximately 10% of the shortest edge on each side (for example, about 3 cm of white border on a 30 cm-wide piece) — so the artwork keeps its standard proportions with no cropping and is ready to hang or frame straight away. If you prefer, you can also place your own mount/mat on top.
Would you like a different border width, a borderless full-bleed version, or any other adjustment? Just let us know within 24 hours of ordering and we'll tailor it for you at no extra cost.
