Audubon Great Blue Heron Wetland Majesty Tie

The "Great Blue Heron" lithograph by John James Audubon is one of his most famous works in his Birds of America series. Audubon, a renowned naturalist, traveled across America documenting hundreds of bird species with remarkable accuracy and detail. His scientific illustrations captured the wild birds of America in their natural habitats. The Great Blue Heron, featured in this stunning lithograph, is a striking bird with a slate gray body accented by blue hues. It has distinctive black markings on its shoulders, a white face, and a crown with black stripes. Known as the largest heron in the U.S., this bird is depicted with a long, yellow beak, poised to hunt fish in the marshlands. The heron's thighs are a chestnut brown, complementing its overall majestic appearance. Audubon's work not only showcases the beauty of the Great Blue Heron but also emphasizes the natural splendor of America's wetlands. The print is a reproduction of the original lithograph made between 1827 and 1838, a classic piece from Audubon’s early 19th-century collection.
