The Story Behind the Print
This vintage Sandwich Tern print reproduces plate 279 from John James Audubon's nineteenth-century Birds of America, restored as historical wall art for studies, libraries and coastal gallery walls.
A single black-capped tern stands on a pale shore rock against gray sky and quiet blue water. Its white breast, layered silver-gray wings and long tail span the horizontal scene; a yellow-tipped black bill and the detailed crayfish in the foreground distinguish the plate. The original specimen number, plate marking, script title 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.
