Wood Ibis A Perfect Recreation™ of the aquatint with original hand color. Drawn from nature by John James Audubon, 1834. 26” x 39”.
The dramatic contrast between the snowy white body and the jet black underwings and tail feathers sets the Wood Ibis in stark relief against the dusky aquatint sky and Spanish moss. From 1820 – 1837, John James Audubon studied and painted The Birds of America. Between 1827 and 1838, his 435 life-sized images of birds in their natural habitats were engraved and printed in London. King George IV of England, King Charles I of France and Daniel Webster were among the original buyers. Now, we've perfectly re-created them for you. "Absolutely perfect and magnificent". What Our Customers Say The quality of ours far exceeds all previous Audubon print reproductions. Our proprietary process yields a resolution, or level of detail, more than ten times greater than the resolution the 2002 Oppenheimer, 1985 Princeton and 1971 Amsterdam editions. So we can perfectly re-create the amazingly lifelike impression of the original Audubons, because we alone are able to perfectly re-create with total clarity and sharpness the extremely fine detail of the original drawing and engraving. Audubon and Havell presented all the glorious detail that exists in nature – and we do, too.
