Engraved by Robert Havell in 1828 after John James Audubon's seminal watercolor, 'Crested Titmouse' represents a landmark achievement in classical natural history illustration. Originally published as Plate 39 in the monumental 'Birds of America' series, this composition captures the dynamic vitality of the Parus bicolor amidst a botanical study of pine branches. Havell's masterful aquatint engraving translates Audubon's meticulous field observations into a harmonious graphic balance of scientific precision and artistic grace. Every format of this archival reproduction is finished with a refined, gallery-ready presentation, featuring a clean white gallery border that floats the artwork in standard proportions with absolutely no cropping to preserve the integrity of the original plate lines.
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.
