Description
This bird is today known as the Canada Warbler.
Audubon named this bird after his friend and supporter, Prince Charles Lucien Bonaparte. It was later renamed Canada Warbler.
This small songbird is native to the northeastern United States, although it migrates through the entire eastern half of the U.S. on its way to its winter home in the northwest corner of South America.
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.
