Red-breasted Sandpiper Audubon Bird Print - Plate 315John James Audubon

This vintage Red-breasted Sandpiper print reproduces plate 315 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 shorebirds occupy a rocky coast beside patterned water. The upper bird stands on one dark leg, showing a vivid rust-red breast and a finely mottled back; the lower bird reaches its dark bill forward above the rocks, with pale underparts and green legs. Distant mountains and a softly painted sky remain behind them. The original No. 63, Plate CCCXV, Red-breasted Sandpiper caption, Latin name, plumage labels 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.
