Engraved by William Home Lizars in Edinburgh in 1827, this exquisite rendering of the White-throated Sparrow represents the genesis of John James Audubon’s monumental folio, The Birds of America. Lizars, renowned for his surgical precision in copperplate engraving, captured the delicate plumage and botanical accuracy of Audubon's original watercolor with extraordinary fidelity. This classical masterpiece is reproduced with archival integrity, preserving the nuanced tonal gradations and fine-line detail of the early nineteenth-century impression. 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, ensuring an elegant, uncropped display suitable for sophisticated 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.
