Acquired from Plate 48 of John James Audubon's monumental folio, The Birds of America, this 1828 depiction of the Cerulean Warbler (Dendroica cerulea) represents a pinnacle of natural history illustration. Engraved, printed, and colored by Robert Havell in London, the composition pairs the delicate, vibrant songbird with a meticulously rendered branch of the sweet gum tree. This edition preserves the architectural precision and scientific accuracy of the original hand-colored engraving. To ensure the integrity of Audubon's original composition, every format—including our canvas presentation—is finished with a consistent, clean white gallery border that floats the artwork in standard proportions with no cropping, delivering a refined, gallery-ready presentation suitable for minimalist and classical interiors alike.
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.
