Engraved by Robert Havell in 1828, 'Vigors Vireo' represents a seminal moment in natural history illustration, captured for John James Audubon's monumental 'The Birds of America'. This classical composition showcases Audubon's meticulous anatomical precision and Havell's mastery of aquatint engraving, rendering the delicate plumage and botanical surroundings with extraordinary fidelity. Each archival reproduction is finished with a refined, gallery-ready presentation featuring a consistent clean white gallery border that elegantly floats the artwork in standard proportions without cropping, preserving the historical integrity of the original plate.
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.
