First published in 1828 as Plate 47 of John James Audubon's monumental 'The Birds of America', 'Ruby-throated Humming Bird' represents a pinnacle of natural history illustration. Engraved and hand-colored by the master printmaker Robert Havell in London, this composition captures the kinetic energy and delicate anatomy of the species against a vibrant trumpet creeper vine. Audubon's revolutionary approach of rendering subjects life-sized in their natural habitats is preserved here with absolute fidelity. Each format, including our canvas presentation, is finished with a refined, gallery-ready presentation featuring a clean white gallery border that elegantly floats the historical artwork in standard proportions without cropping.
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.
