Description

The American Goldfinch is the state bird of Iowa, New Jersey, and Washington.

Here, the bird is dhown on a thistle, the seed of which is one of the Goldfinch’s favorite foods.

The American Goldfinch spends its summers in southern Canada and winters in the southern United States, spending Spring and Fall in the northern half of the U.S.

The Princeton Edition was printed on heavy, acid free, museum-quality paper using specially designed archival inks. This is an “offset lithograph” – not a “giclee” poster or inexpensive inkjet print. It was created by highly-skilled printers using traditional printing presses, and up to a dozen metal printing plates were used in the complex process.

The result is a truly exceptional print of Audubon’s masterful artwork, unlike anything else available on the market. The printing is so fine that it is indistinguishable from the stone lithograph prints created by Audubon in the 18th century.  This is a fine art edition strictly limited to 1500 prints. All Princeton’s are hand numbered and bear an embossed seal in the lower margin of the print.
