Wandering Shearwater Audubon Bird Print - Plate 283John James Audubon

This vintage Wandering Shearwater print reproduces plate 283 from John James Audubon's nineteenth-century Birds of America, restored as historical wall art for studies, libraries and coastal gallery walls.

A brown-and-white seabird stands on sloping coastal rock, its hooked bill open above a pale breast. Layered dark wing feathers, blue-gray legs and broad webbed feet contrast with the softly colored shore. Distant mountains, small buildings and quiet water give the wide composition a distinct coastal setting. The original engraved title and publication credits remain beneath the scene.

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.
