Brown Pelican
John James Audubon, The Birds of America, Plate 421 (Havell edition, 1827–38)

The brown pelican on a mangrove branch, from Audubon's Florida trip of 1832 — the plate that made the bird a symbol of the Gulf coast.

This museum-grade reproduction is made from a high-resolution scan of an original hand-colored aquatint, carefully cleaned and color-balanced, then printed on thick matte archival paper with a soft off-white border for framing. Every print is made to order and ships from the United States.

  • Printed on 189 gsm museum-quality matte paper (archival, acid-free)
  • Fade-resistant pigment inks — rich color, no glare
  • Horizontal format · standard sizes fit off-the-shelf frames
  • Free US shipping — shipped rolled in a protective tube, made to order in 2–5 business days
  • Frame not included

About the source: the original artwork is in the public domain; our reproduction is prepared from an open-access scan of the Havell edition. Slight variations in tone from the original are natural to the printing process and part of the charm of vintage plates.

Part of The Plate Room's Audubon — Birds of America collection.
