“Purchased as a gift for my husband's birthday and it was exactly what he wanted. The print and frame were very well made and arrived quickly. There was great attention to detail in the packaging to ensure it arrived safely. Justin was friendly and professional. I would highly recommend this seller!!!”

The Story Behind the Print
This vintage Semipalmated Sandpiper print reproduces plate 405 from John James Audubon's nineteenth-century Birds of America, restored as historical wall art for studies, libraries and coastal gallery walls.
Two shorebirds occupy a sandy bank scattered with pink, cream and brown shells. One leans toward rippling blue-green water while the other stands above it, showing russet-edged dark feathers and slender gray legs. Pale distant hills and a dark rocky foreground give the horizontal scene its depth. The open space above the birds, original species title and engraved credits preserve the character of the plate.
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.
