Description
The Yellow billed Cuckoo spends summers in the eastern half of the Untied States, then migrates through Central America to spend the winter in South America. Its preferred diet includes large insects, caterpillars, and some fruits and seeds.
It has a loud call that is heard much more frequently than the bird is actually seen.
John James Audubon painted the Yellow billed Cuckoo on a branch of the Paw paw tree, in pursuit of a butterfly.
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.
