{"product_id":"john-james-audubon-american-crow-print","title":"American Crow by John James Audubon","description":"\u003cp\u003eA glossy black crow on a branch of fruit: Audubon’s American Crow from The Birds of America, on canvas, framed, or on fine art paper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a print on paper, and a careless copy bleaches the sheet white or dulls the colour. Our Audubon American Crow print keeps the whole sheet, with its plate number and captions, in a warm cream, so the glossy black and the fresh greens stand out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"story\"\u003eThe Birds of America\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJohn James Audubon set out to show every bird in America at its real size, engraved in London and coloured by hand, one plate at a time. This American Crow is plate 156: a male on a leafy branch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"story\"\u003eShy and cunning\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe crow is an extremely shy bird, Audubon wrote, having found familiarity with man no way to his advantage. It is called cunning, he added, only because it takes care of itself and its young. One crow on a high branch keeps watch, and sounds the alarm for every crow within half a mile.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"story\"\u003eIn defence of the crow\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLaws paid a bounty for every crow’s head, and in one state, in a single season, forty thousand were killed. Audubon tried to be fair: the crow, he said, eats myriads of grubs that would lay waste the farmer’s fields.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCanvas, framed or paper\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStretched canvas.\u003c\/strong\u003e Printed on cotton canvas and stretched taut over a frame. The edges are mirror-wrapped, so the picture continues around the sides and none of it is lost to the fold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFramed canvas.\u003c\/strong\u003e The same canvas, set in a black, white, natural wood or dark wood frame 0.83 in deep. The frame gives the work a finished edge and a little more presence on the wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFramed print.\u003c\/strong\u003e Printed on fine art matte paper and framed in solid pine, behind shatterproof plexiglass, in black, white, natural wood or dark wood. It arrives ready to hang. Framed sizes are measured on the outside of the frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFine art print.\u003c\/strong\u003e Printed on 310gsm fine art matte paper, for framing your own way. It travels rolled and protected. From 18x24 inch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSizes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e12x18 inch, 16x24 inch, 20x30 inch, 24x36 inch. Framed sizes are measured on the outside of the frame, so the visible painting is a little smaller.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOn your wall\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts tall sheet suits a study, a library or a hallway, and it is a favourite for a moody gallery wall. The black and greens look striking with cream, charcoal and walnut, and a black frame suits it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this the original painting?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The original hangs in a museum. What you receive is a fine art reproduction, remastered from the original and printed for you, with every mark where the artist left it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill the colour look flat?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is where most reproductions disappoint, and it is where we spend the most time. Each work is graded side by side with the original: faithful to the artist’s colours, with the depth and warmth brought back, so it moves you on the wall the way it was meant to. Canvas reads a touch softer than a backlit screen, and every screen shows colour a little differently.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill the edges be cropped?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach size is a standard frame size, so we fit the painting by trimming a little from its edges. We never stretch or squash it, and we check every size by eye so no face, figure or signature is cut. On canvas the edges are mirror-wrapped, which keeps the whole picture on the front.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich size is right for my wall?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAim for about two-thirds the width of the furniture beneath it. Over a sofa or a sideboard, one of the two largest sizes will hold the wall. The size guide lists every size in inches and centimetres, with the kind of wall each one suits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long does it take?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour piece is printed in 1–3 business days, then spends 5–12 business days in transit, tracked all the way. Delivery is free anywhere in the US. We are unable to deliver to PO boxes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat if it arrives damaged?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSend us a photograph and we will remake it and send it again. There is nothing to return.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I return it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, within 30 days of delivery.
