Fresh Water Marsh Hen Audubon Bird Print - Plate 203John James Audubon

This vintage Fresh Water Marsh Hen print reproduces plate 203 from John James Audubon's nineteenth-century Birds of America, restored as historical wall art for studies, libraries and natural-history gallery walls.

Two long-billed birds move through curling marsh reeds beside shallow water. Rust-colored breasts, red eyes and dark scalloped wings contrast with black-and-white barred flanks and pale green foliage. One bird stretches forward across the foreground while the other lifts its head behind it. The engraved caption distinguishes spring and autumn plumage and retains the historical Great Red-breasted Rail title.

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.
