Description
Audubon represented several of these pretty and interesting birds, in various positions, on stalks of the Trupet flower. This illustration conveys a sense of motion, as there are several hummingbirds drawn in flight. This image is a favorite of those who love hummingbirds!
This illustration looks great paired with the Carolina Parrots or the Baltimore Oriole.
The Ruby Throated Hummingbird is the most common hummingbird in the eastern half of the Untied States.
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.
