Description
The White Pelican, painted against an inky dark night sky, is one of the most magnificent of all John James Audubon’s works.
The White Pelican is one of the largest birds in North America, with an average wingspan of 9 feet across. It is a year round resident on the central to southern California coast, and also on the Gulf coast of Texas. Also seen in Florida, and while on migration throughout the western half of the United States.
This image looks great paired with the Brown Pelican or the American Flamingo, or is fantastic displayed alone.
This 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.
As seen in the New York Times.
