Printed on Hahnemuhle Photo Rag 308gsm.

Every May, half a million shorebirds descend on Delaware Bay beaches to gorge on horseshoe crab eggs - one of the largest wildlife spectacles on the Atlantic coast. Delaware is the First State and, with 432 species on its official list, punches well above its size for birdlife on the Atlantic Flyway.

This plate gathers the signature birds of Delaware onto a single sheet, drawn in the Audubon tradition of close observation and honest colour: Red Knot, Ruddy Turnstone, Semipalmated Sandpiper, Sanderling, Dunlin, Saltmarsh Sparrow, Seaside Sparrow, and the Brown-headed Nuthatch.

The print

A studied composite in the Audubon style. Cream ground, the navy and sage of the house palette, each bird drawn in true proportion to the others and arranged as a single editorial plate rather than a chart. It reads as one picture of what Delaware’s skies and yards actually hold.

Paper and finish

Unframed prints come on Hahnemühle Photo Rag 308gsm, a heavyweight cotton rag with a soft matte surface and true archival life. The framed option is a different stock: Enhanced Matte 200gsm, set in a classic moulding, mounted and glazed, ready to hang straight from the box. Choose your frame in black, brown, dark grey or gold.

Sizes

Three sizes: A4, A3 and A2, or an instant digital PDF. Prints from $39. Framed from $109. Digital download $9.

How to hang it

A composite plate wants room to breathe. Give it a pale wall, warm white or sage, and hang it at eye height where the palette can carry. A brown or gold moulding suits the cream ground; black or dark grey gives a more graphic edge. Keep it out of direct sun, which fades the colour over decades.
