Originally engraved by Robert Havell Jr. in London, Traill's Flycatcher is a seminal work from John James Audubon's monumental masterpiece, The Birds of America. This 1828 composition captures two flycatchers perched on a sweet gum branch, rendered with Audubon's characteristic scientific precision and dramatic naturalism. Havell's masterly aquatint engraving translated Audubon's original watercolors into striking, lifelike prints that redefined ornithological illustration in the nineteenth century. Every format of this archival reproduction, including our premium canvas, is finished with a consistent, clean white gallery border. This refined, gallery-ready presentation elegantly floats the historical artwork in standard proportions without cropping, preserving the composition's original architectural balance.
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.
