The Story Behind the Print
This vintage Mississippi Kite print reproduces plate 117 from John James Audubon's nineteenth-century Birds of America, restored as historical wall art for studies, libraries and nature-inspired gallery walls.
Two blue-gray kites occupy a branch draped with lichen and long pale strands. Their light heads and red eyes contrast with darker wings, while the upper bird's open bill and lifted feathers bring a sense of movement to the spare woodland setting.
Archive Print Co. restores each illustration for clarity while preserving the character of the original. Each reproduction is printed as a giclée art print on heavyweight 325gsm archival matte paper with archival inks.
Colors may vary slightly between screens and the finished piece; the print will always be richer in person.
