Poster of the superb frigate, based on an old engraving from 1827

Poster of the Superb Frigatebird, after an 1827 engraving by the artist and naturalist Jean-Jacques Audubon. Dimensions: 21 X 29 cm. Frame not included. High-quality, heavyweight paper, 250 gsm. Shipped securely in a rigid package. This magnificent poster depicts the superb frigatebird, a large seabird recognizable by its slender wings and iridescent black plumage. Audubon captures the grace of its flight over the ocean, where one can imagine it hunting fish and jellyfish, rendered with striking realism. The deep contrasts of the plumage evoke the rich hues found in Louis XIII style interiors: dark woods, solid wood furniture, wrought-iron chandeliers, and gilt frames. Perfect for refined decoration, this print harmonizes beautifully with a walnut console, an antique globe or a lamp with a natural canvas shade.
