American Snipe A Perfect Recreation™ of the aquatint with original hand color. Drawn from nature by John James Audubon, 1835. 39" x 26”

The acutely observed and intricately drawn and painted plumage markings of the American Snipe make this image an extraordinary example of the lasting ornithological value of Audubon's work. Set at the edge of a Carolina rice plantation outside Charleston, this lovely composition will add something beautiful and fascinating to every one of your days. 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.
