The white bird in the background is an immature little blue heron, quite as white as an egret and often mistaken for one since it does not wear its adult plumage until two years of age.  The view of the countryside near Charleston, South Carolina, was painted by George Lehman.

Audubon wrote of the little blue heron:  "You may see this graceful Heron, quietly and in silence walking along the margins of the water, with an elegance and grace which can never fail to please you.  Each regularly-timed step is lightly measured, while the keen eye of the bird seeks for and watches the equally cautious movements of the objects towards which it advances with all imaginable care.  When at a proper distance, it darts forth its bill with astonishing celerity, to pierce and secure its prey."

 

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."
