The Story Behind the Print
This vintage Double-crested Cormorant print reproduces plate 257 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, crested cormorant stands on a broad coastal rock, its hooked pale bill and vivid red throat patch set against green-black plumage and layered wing feathers. A pale cliff rises beyond the tail, while smaller seabirds gather over the water at lower left. The original No. 52, Plate CCLVII, species caption and engraved credits remain on the sheet.
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.
About the Frame

Satin Black has a 7/8-inch face and adds 1.25 inches to the total width and height. Slimwood Silver and Slimwood Gold have a 1 1/8-inch face and add 1.75 inches to the total width and height.
The selected size refers to the artwork itself. Framed orders are custom made and ship within 7 to 10 business days, free in the U.S. See our shipping and return policies for framed piece details.
