“Shipped soon after I ordered and came in about a week! (That includes a holiday and the weekend). I loved how carefully packaged my print came and it even had a note from the seller, very thoughtful touch. The print looks so clear and the paper is great quality, it looks even better than the picture online. I would 100% recommend this shop/ seller.”

The Story Behind the Print
This vintage Black Skimmer, or Shearwater print reproduces plate 323 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-and-white bird sweeps low over dark blue-green waves with its long wings lifted high. Red accents at the open bill and feet stand out against pale underparts and softly painted sky, giving the tall composition a strong diagonal movement.
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.

“Justin and Paola were so easy to communicate with - they even expedited shipping for this order at no additional charge when they heard that it was meant to be a birthday gift! I was so lucky to find their shop, since I was looking for a really specific print. It also arrived in perfect condition. Highly recommend their business!”
“I can’t say enough about this seller! My prints arrived within days of ordering and were in fantastic condition! The quality of the prints are perfect, thick with rich colors that pictures online can’t do justice. The seller is also quick to respond to any of your questions. I’m so pleased with how they turned out!”
