John James Audubon: Trumpeter Swan (1838) Plate 405 Art Print

Bring the unparalleled grandeur of American natural history into your home. This museum-quality Giclée reproduction features John James Audubon’s Trumpeter Swan, a breathtaking pinnacle of 19th-century ornithological art.

In 1838, Audubon completed one of the most ambitious artistic projects in history: documenting every bird in North America at life-size. Plate 405, the Trumpeter Swan, remains one of his most celebrated achievements. Audubon captures the bird’s immense power and delicate grace simultaneously, emphasizing the intricate textures of its white plumage against the deep, moody tones of the water. The inclusion of the tiny moth highlights Audubon’s commitment to showing birds as active participants in their complex ecosystems. Originally engraved, printed, and colored by Robert Havell, this work is a landmark of naturalist philosophy and technical skill.
