Short-Legged Pewit Flycatcher

by John James Audubon

Transform your home decor with a piece of 19th century American natural history, courtesy of the amazing antique print of this beautiful bird illustration by the famous artist naturalist John James Audubon. The Short-Legged Pewit Flycatcher (Western Wood-Pewee) is shown in this gorgeous depiction by Audubon in all its splendor. As a pocket-sized alternative to the giant folio of Audubon prints, the First Edition Royal Octavo series is still highly sought after due to the great level of details, coloring and small enough size to carry around.

The lithograph and hand coloring was done by the famous workshop of J.T. Bowen, located in Philadelphia (circa 1840-1844). Featuring vivid coloring and detailed linework, this print will fit perfectly into your interior space as either a standalone decorative element or a part of a gallery wall of birds.
