The Story Behind the Print
This vintage Roseate Tern print reproduces plate 240 from John James Audubon's nineteenth-century Birds of America, restored as historical wall art for studies, libraries and natural-history gallery walls.
A single tern plunges headfirst through a richly mottled blue-gray field with wings spread and long white tail streamers lifted above it. A black cap, red-orange bill, coral feet and finely engraved silver-gray feathers give the dramatic vertical composition vivid ornithological character.
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.
