Dive into the era of ornithology in America with this fantastic print of Audubon's work, which depicts the Grey-Crowned Purple Finch (Carpodacus Purpureus) with the Stokesia Cyanea (or commonly called Stokes' Aster or Cornflower Aster) flower.Created by Audubon using the innovative method of mounting live birds on wires to create realistic illustrations, this print captures the contrast of the rich "old rose" crimson coloration of the bird against the fringed petals of the vibrant lavender-blue of the native southeastern flower. This historically accurate depiction of flora and fauna will transport you back to the wilderness of America in the 19th century.
