“Since the website didn't have an image of the print when framed, I was skeptical that it would be done the way I had envisioned. Purchase arrived quickly, was packaged very carefully, was framed beautifully. EXACTLY what I had hoped for!”

The Story Behind the Print
This vintage American Scoter Duck print reproduces plate 408 from John James Audubon's nineteenth-century Birds of America, restored as historical wall art for studies, libraries and coastal gallery walls.
Two ducks swim through blue-green water beneath a pale sky. A bright yellow-orange bill stands out against the foreground bird's dark, blue-sheened feathers, while its gray-brown companion follows behind; rippling lines reveal their webbed feet below the surface.
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.
