Audubon studied the habits of the pair of hawks
represented here over a period of three years, and this devotion resulted in one of the
finest works he did in Louisiana before sailing to Liverpool in 1826. "The
mutual attachment of the male and the female continues during life," Audubon
wrote. "They usually hunt in pairs during the whole year; and although they
built a new nest every spring, they are fond of resorting to the same parts of the woods
for that purpose."
Although it has been known as the "big chicken
hawk," and "hen hawk," only a small percentage of the red-shouldered hawk's
food is made up of poultry. In truth, the bird is very valuable to the farmer, with
ninety percent of its prey made up of mammals and insects injurious to his crops.

Princeton Audubon prints
are far beyond mere reproductions. Princeton (formerly Princeton
Polychrome Press) earned an enviable nationwide reputation by
reproducing fine art prints for, among others, The National Gallery of
Art, National Portrait Gallery, Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden,
Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Whitney Museum of American Art, The
New-York Historical Society, and The Detroit Institute of Arts. The
finest reproductions of Picasso and Andrew Wyeth works were done by
Princeton. Princeton double elephant prints, the same size as life, are
also exceptional works of fine art and were produced by the same Master
Printer, the late David O. Johnson of Princeton New Jersey, who was also
one of the world's foremost collectors of the antique Audubon
originals. Princetons are thus the real deal in Audubon fine art, the
world's only direct-camera Audubon facsimiles.
Chris Lane of the
ANTIQUES ROADSHOW:
"...of all the full-size
facsimiles of Audubon's prints, those from Princeton Audubon Limited
come the closest in appearance and quality to the originals. Combining
this with their very reasonable cost make the Princeton Audubon
facsimiles winners for those looking to acquire some of the most
dramatic American natural history images ever produced."
