Impressive image of a male in a dive; this species is known for its aerial skill. Also called the Man-o-war Bird due to its piratical habit of stealing food from other birds in mid-air.

Description

We offer the best known of Audubon’s original prints — the large and famous bird prints from the Havell Edition (hand-colored etchings with engraving and aquatint, published 1827-1838). Because of the difficulties involved in photographing large prints, shadow and uneven lighting affect many of the photos below. If you are interested in a print, please ask for a condition report. If there is a specific print you want that you don’t see here, or you are thinking of buying a Havell but don’t know what you want, please get in touch. I can search for any print, or help you decide which print will work best for you. All prints with full watermark unless noted. Sheet measurements given in most cases; if listed only as a “full sheet,” then measuring in the range of 37 to 39 inches by 25-26 inches. All items are one of a kind and subject to prior sale. Please visit the ordering page to review policies and terms of sale. Current bird names (if substantially different) noted in square brackets.
