American Woodcock - Antique Aves Print

Design Inspiration: This fine art print reproduces a plate from John James Audubon's landmark 19th-century masterwork, "The Birds of America," depicting the American Woodcock (Scolopax minor). Known affectionately as the "timberdoodle," this reclusive, stocky bird is renowned for its eccentric habits and twilight lifestyle. Audubon illustrated its specialized anatomy with precision, including the extraordinarily long bill, short pinkish legs, large-headed body, and high-set dark eyes. Its plumage is a patchwork of russet, black, ash-grey, and buff that blends into leaf litter. Engraved by Robert Havell Jr., the composition shows two woodcocks in a dark, marshy wetland. One stands in crisp profile, and the other crouches low with its bill angled toward a muddy bank. A storied addition to a country home, hunting lodge, library, or study, this print pairs beautifully with traditional, naturalist, and sporting interiors. Craftsmanship: This print is reproduced from an antique Audubon engraving, scanned and enlarged by one of the top fine art printers in the country. Every print is made on acid-free, 100% rag cotton fine art watercolor paper using archival pigment inks for lasting visual brilliance. After printing, each piece is hand-trimmed with an 18-karat gold ink border and floated on conservation matboard for a refined, gallery-quality presentation. Available print-only or framed in our Larson-Juhl black and gold frame. For a custom Fattori Fine Frame, please get in touch with us directly.
