Tell-tale Godwit, or Snipe Audubon Bird Print - Plate 308John James Audubon

This vintage Tell-tale Godwit, or Snipe print reproduces plate 308 from John James Audubon's nineteenth-century Birds of America, prepared as historical wall art for a study, library or natural-history gallery wall.

Two long-legged shorebirds stand at a muddy wetland edge. The bird at left lifts one pale patterned wing and bends its head toward its shoulder; the bird at right lowers its long bill to a small pool. Dark feathering, yellow legs, marsh grasses, distant trees and farm buildings fill the scene. The original No. 62, Plate CCCVIII, Tell-tale Godwit or Snipe caption, Latin name and engraving 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.
