Long-billed Curlew A Perfect Recreation™ of the aquatint with original hand color. Drawn from nature by John James Audubon, 1834. 39" x 26”
The light orange plumage of the Long-billed Curlews seems to reflect the orange-pink sunset above the 1834 Charleston skyline and harbor while the curved bills of the feeding pair reflect each other. 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.
