“I love this map! It came in perfect condition and it is beautiful! We had to get a custom frame which can get pricey, especially for the size we chose 48 × 36 but it looks great and filled our large wall perfectly! Great find!”

The Story Behind the Print
John James Audubon's Arctic Tern captures one of nature's most remarkable travelers in exquisite detail. Originally created for his monumental Birds of America series in the 1820s, this hand-colored aquatint showcases Audubon's revolutionary approach to ornithological illustrations—depicting birds in dynamic, lifelike poses rather than static museum specimens.
The Arctic Tern, famous for its epic pole-to-pole migration covering 44,000 miles annually, is rendered with Audubon's characteristic precision and artistry. During this era, America was still cataloging its natural wonders, and Audubon's work represented both scientific discovery and artistic achievement. His life-sized portraits became the gold standard for natural history art, influencing generations of naturalists and artists.
Reproduced on 325gsm museum-grade archival matte paper using giclée printing with archival inks, ensuring your vintage bird illustrations maintain their rich colors and fine details for generations.
Colors may vary slightly between screens and the finished piece — the print will always be richer.
About the Frame
Framed pieces are built to order in solid wood with a 1.125 inch face, glazed in crystal-clear acrylic, and finished with a kraft paper dust cover and hanging wire. Your print is dry mounted so it stays perfectly flat for decades. Each framed piece arrives ready to hang.
The frame adds roughly 1.75 inches to each side of the print size you select. Framed orders are custom made and ship within 7 to 10 business days, free in the U.S. See our shipping and return policies for framed piece details.

“This is truly a high quality, authentic print of Texas, we LOVE it! We went with the big 48 x 36 print and it looks amazing. Justin was great to work with and very quick to answer my questions. Shipping was fast too. All around, we are more than happy with our purchase!”
“Love it!! I don’t know how they did it, but they manage to make the map look old and like something from a museum. The frame is gorgeous. Shipped fast and was very carefully packaged so it arrived in perfect condition. Bought this for my husband for Christmas and he loves it! Thanks!!”
