First published in London in 1828 as Plate 46 of John James Audubon’s monumental Birds of America, 'Summer Red Bird' represents a pinnacle of natural history illustration. Engraved, printed, and colored by Robert Havell, this masterwork captures the vivid vitality of the Piranga rubra amidst a delicate botanical specimen. Our archival reproduction honors the architectural precision of Havell's original copperplate engraving, preserving the intricate linework and rich tonal gradations. To maintain the integrity of the original composition, 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.
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.
