Capture the pioneering spirit of America’s wild frontiers in your home with the splendid Bewick's Wren (Plate 18) by famed painter John James Audubon. It is not only an exquisite image of a bird but a depiction of discovery as well, because Audubon was the one who discovered this feisty bird species and gave it its name as a tribute to his dear friend, Thomas Bewick, the famous engraver.This stunning work, reproduced with incredible accuracy, depicts a cocked tail, elaborate feathering and active pose on an elegant botanical background.
