“Wow! This is the second print I've purchased from Paola and couldn't be happier with the quality! It's printed on nice thick paper and the colors are really vibrant. I bought it as a gift and the recipient loves it. The packaging was nice as well - it came rolled up so it was protected during shipping but unrolled easily for the frame. Thank you!!”

The Story Behind the Print
This vintage Pin-tailed Duck print reproduces plate 227 from John James Audubon's nineteenth-century Birds of America, restored as historical wall art for studies, libraries and nature-inspired gallery walls.
Two ducks stretch their necks toward a small flying insect above a riverbank. The foreground bird's long pointed tail, pale neck stripe and finely patterned gray plumage contrast with the warm brown bird behind it, while grassy slopes, scattered rocks and distant trees complete the landscape.
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.
