First published in 1827 as Plate 13 of John James Audubon's monumental 'The Birds of America', 'Snow-Bird' represents a pinnacle of early 19th-century naturalism. Engraved by the master printmaker Robert Havell, this classical composition balances scientific precision with an elegant, minimalist aesthetic. Capturing two specimens perched on a delicate, berry-laden branch, the work showcases Havell's exceptional aquatint and etching techniques. Each reproduction is meticulously rendered to preserve the archival integrity of the original hand-colored engraving. Every format, including our premium canvas, is finished with a consistent, clean white gallery border that floats the artwork in standard proportions, offering a refined, gallery-ready presentation that integrates seamlessly into architectural spaces.
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.
