Description
John James Audubon was always trying to convey as much information as possible about the birds’ habitats through his illustrations. The Wood Duck is a perfect example of this, in that Wood Duck are “cavity nesters”, they nest in trees. This is a unique feature of the Wood Duck’s lifestyle that Audubon was able to translate through his drawing.
The Wood Duck looks very elegant paired with the Pileated Woodpecker. Great artwork for a home or cabin in a wooded setting.
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.
As seen in the New York Times.
