How to Choose Your Audubon Print

Why this collection works on a wall

Audubon’s Birds of America is one of the great achievements of natural-history illustration — detailed, lifelike birds rendered at a grand scale with extraordinary care. Because these classic plates are in the public domain, these are faithful fine-art reproductions, so you get the genuine detail and beauty of the originals. A single Audubon plate brings a scholarly, heritage elegance to a study, library, hallway or traditional interior, and the detailed, naturalistic style pairs beautifully with antique furniture and warm wood. A set of birds hung in a grid evokes the framed specimen displays of a classic natural-history collection.

How to choose your size

  • Smaller prints are perfect for a study, a shelf ledge or a grouped gallery wall, where two or three pieces can build a layered, collected look together.
  • Medium prints are the dependable all-rounder above a desk, console, sofa or bed — large enough to read clearly from across the room without dominating it.
  • Larger prints turn a hallway or feature wall into a genuine focal point, carrying colour, detail and presence at full scale for maximum impact.

How to frame it

Heritage bird plates suit a warm-wood or aged-gold frame and an off-white mount, which gives the artwork a museum-like, period-correct presentation.

Whichever finish you choose, match the frame to the room rather than the artwork, keep mounts even on all sides, and hang the centre of the piece at roughly eye level so it sits in natural balance with the wall around it.

How to care for the print

Keep the print out of harsh, direct sunlight to protect the inks over the long term, and dust the surface now and then with a dry, soft cloth rather than any liquid cleaner. In busy, high-traffic rooms, framing under glass or non-reflective glazing adds a useful layer of protection against knocks and fingerprints. Treated this way, a quality matte print holds its depth and colour beautifully for many years.

Frequently asked questions

What is the John James Audubon Prints collection?

It is a collection of fine-art reproductions of John James Audubon's classic Birds of America plates. Because these works are in the public domain, they are faithful reproductions printed as new wall art for the home.

What paper and finish are used for these prints?

John James Audubon Prints are printed on museum-grade 200 GSM matte paper with a smooth, low-glare surface. The matte finish keeps deep tones rich and detail crisp without distracting reflections, which suits framing under glass and viewing from any angle in the room.

Which size should I choose?

Pick the size by the wall, not the rule: smaller prints layer beautifully in a gallery group, a medium print is the safe single statement above furniture, and a larger print commands a feature wall. Every size is frame-ready in standard ratios, so off-the-shelf frames fit without custom cutting.

Are these original antique Audubon plates?

No. These are newly printed fine-art reproductions of John James Audubon's public-domain artwork, made on quality matte paper. They are not original works, antique prints or limited editions, but faithful reproductions you can frame and enjoy as wall art.

How are these prints packaged and shipped worldwide?

Every order ships with tracked worldwide delivery and protected packaging — flat in rigid board for smaller prints or rolled in a sturdy tube for larger sizes — so the artwork arrives in gallery condition. Delivery times vary by destination, and your tracking link lets you follow the order from dispatch to doorstep.
