Engraved in 1827 by William Home Lizars, 'Selby's Flycatcher' represents a seminal moment in natural history illustration, marking the genesis of John James Audubon's monumental Birds of America. This classical composition showcases Audubon's signature synthesis of scientific precision and dramatic form, captured during the initial Edinburgh printing. Every format, including our premium canvas, is finished with a refined, gallery-ready presentation featuring a clean white gallery border that floats the artwork in standard proportions with no cropping, preserving the historical plate dimensions and architectural balance of the original work.
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.
