” American White Pelican ” by James Audubon

This ready-to-hang, gallery-wrapped art piece features an American white pelican. John James Audubon (Jean-Jacques Audubon) was a French-American ornithologist, naturalist, and painter. He was notable for his expansive studies to document all types of American birds and for his detailed illustrations that depicted the birds in their natural habitats. His major work, a color-plate book entitled “The Birds of America”, is considered one of the finest ornithological works ever completed. Audubon identified 25 new species.
