Audubon Snowy Heron, or White Egret Plate CCXLII Poster

This is a reproduction version of the Snowy Heron or White Egret based on the series “Birds of America” by John James Audubon (1785 - 1851). Robert Havell (1793 - 1878) etched the original version. Creating the original vintage prints employed hand-coloured engraving techniques and the aquatint process on Whatman wove paper. The original Birds of America is very expensive because of the limited number of original books published and their popularity. The bookplates are incredible and awe-inspiring classics. This version has been digitally remastered and retouched. This version has also been modified to remove the borders. The border removal also resulted in the removal of plate numbers, artist, and engraver information.
