We restore and reproduce forgotten masterworks of graphic design on museum-grade paper — so they can live on your walls instead of in an archive.
The Story Behind the Print
This vintage Common Gallinule print reproduces plate 244 from John James Audubon's nineteenth-century Birds of America, prepared as historical wall art for a study, library or natural-history gallery wall.
A dark gallinule reaches toward tall reeds at the water's edge. Its red bill and shield, yellow bill tip, long green legs and widely spread toes stand out against the pale marsh scene. The original No. 49, Plate CCXLIV, species caption and engraved credits remain visible.
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.

Customer notes
From our collectors
