First engraved in London by Robert Havell in 1828, 'Gold-winged Woodpecker' represents a pinnacle of natural history illustration from John James Audubon's monumental 'The Birds of America'. This classical masterpiece captures the dynamic vitality and anatomical precision of the Colaptes auratus in its native habitat. Rendered with meticulous hand-colored copperplate engraving techniques, the composition balances scientific rigor with dramatic, organic form. Each reproduction is finished with a refined, gallery-ready presentation featuring a clean white gallery border that floats the artwork in standard proportions without cropping, preserving the historical integrity of the original plate.
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.
