With gentle nature and rapid flight, this bird charms me. Encountered it from Kentucky to Labrador, but only in autumn and winter. It searches for food along pool edges, mixing with other species, its sweet call echoing through the air, a delightful sight in Florida's St. Augustine wetlands.

+ Museum-quality giclée print process used for superior color and robust pigments on archival quality heavy weight matte paper.
+ Detailed background documentation, provenance certificate and text from the original published work included with purchase.
+ Order with standard framing or print-only. (Also see our bespoke design options.)

Curated from an 1871 octavo edition of Birds of America by John James Audubon.

The original lithograph was printed and hand-colored by J. T. Bowen, Philadelphia and published by George R. Lockwood, Late Roe Lockwood & Son, 411 Broadway, New York.

Plates from Audubon’s Birds of America volumes are among the most sought after and collectible art prints in the U.S.

Choose to have your art framed, or not. It’s up to you.

  • We use only the highest quality reprographic equipment and supplies, resulting in magnificent museum-quality artwork that can be passed down for generations to come.

    Prints w/o frames are rolled in protective sheathing and shipped in heavy containers.

    All prints include a .75 inch white border that contains descriptive information and a stamp of authenticity. We plan for a .10 inch overlap from a mat or frame.

    Print sizing supports use with many standard commercial frame sizes depending on aspect ratio of the image (e.g. 2:3 aspect ratio corresponds to a 24x36 standard frame size, without a border or mat).

    Background documentation is sent separately.

  • Our premium quality wood frames are made and painstakingly assembled in the US and are available in a variety of colors depending on the chosen artwork. The framing package includes high quality UV-protected acrylic glazing, acid-free foam core backing, paper dust barrier, and hardware installed so your artwork is ready to hang right out of the box.

  • If you or your design professional prefers a more custom experience, we are happy to arrange online or in-person meetings so that your Lithograf artwork is printed, framed and shipped to your exact specifications.  Custom sizing, commercial applications, and a wide variety of framing options are available by request.  Pricing will depend on project complexity.  We look forward to offering you a truly premium art curation experience. Learn more about our bespoke design options.

  • All images are the property of Lithograf.com, our artists and assigns. They are reproduced from original artwork, plates, prints and lithographs in our private collection or through our valued partners.  Even though the source artwork is in our ownership, we spend time restoring the images, using high resolution scanners and data storage techniques to preserve the original artistic intent of the work.  Our team then uses proprietary creative techniques to render the images we sell so that the end result is a new expression of the derivative work.  As such, we reserve all copyright protection for this new work.  Any unauthorized or illegal copying, reproductions or derivations that defy US copyright law will be vigorously pursued and defended to the full extent allowable by law. Thank you for your cooperation.

  • Each framed/printed artwork is custom made by a group of artisans who care about your satisfaction.  However, because of the individualized nature of each order, we are unable to offer refunds or exchanges. If your order is incorrect, or has arrived in less-than-optimal condition, please contact us within 5 days and we will do our best to make things right. We truly appreciate your business!
