John James Audubon’s “Hemlock Warbler (Plate 134),” first published in 1827, is a stunning bird illustration from his celebrated work, “Birds of America.” This historical artwork captures the delicate beauty and intricate details of the Hemlock Warbler, also known as Sylvia parus.
Now, for the first time in nearly two centuries, you have the opportunity to own a high-quality fine art print of the “Hemlock Warbler.” Expertly handcrafted at The Unique Maps Co.’s workshop, this personalized print is produced on premium archival matte paper, ensuring the vibrant colors remain unfaded and intact for years to come.
John James Audubon was a pioneering ornithologist and artist, renowned for his dedication to illustrating the avian wonders of North America. “Birds of America,” his magnum opus, comprises 435 hand-colored prints, each capturing the life-size likenesses of various bird species amidst gorgeously detailed backgrounds. Audubon’s meticulous attention to detail and his ability to depict each bird in its natural habitat make each illustration a masterpiece.
The “Hemlock Warbler” is particularly notable for its brilliant use of color and composition. The male’s bright yellow fore-neck and breast contrast beautifully with the yellow-green upper parts and white-tipped wings, bringing to life the lively and agile nature of this exquisite bird. The depiction reflects Audubon’s uncanny ability to blend scientific precision with artistic elegance, making it an exceptional piece to display.
This print would make a wonderful gift for birthdays, Christmas, Father’s Day, or housewarming gatherings, perfect for those with a keen appreciation for art or an interest in ornithology and the natural world.

My standard frames come in six colours (black, dark brown, dark grey, antique gold, oak and white), and custom framing is available for an additional charge.
