Hudsonian Godwit Audubon Bird Print - Plate 258John James Audubon

This vintage Hudsonian Godwit print reproduces plate 258 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 godwits rest on a low earth bank. The left bird reclines with warm rust-orange underparts and one wing raised, while the right stands in gray-brown plumage with crossed wing feathers, a pale throat and blue-gray legs. Their alert eyes and precise feather engraving give the horizontal 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.
