Printed on Hahnemuhle Photo Rag 308gsm.

Rhode Island chose a chicken as its state bird - a working bird developed right here in Little Compton in 1854, not an osprey or a warbler, but a breed whose reputation crossed every ocean. The Rhode Island Avian Records Committee lists over 450 species for this smallest of states, where Block Island pulls migrating warblers off the Atlantic flyway every autumn like a net.

This plate gathers the signature birds of Rhode Island onto a single sheet, drawn in the Audubon tradition of close observation and honest colour: Harlequin Duck, Piping Plover, Northern Gannet, Osprey, Yellow Warbler, Black-and-white Warbler, Common Yellowthroat, and the American Redstart.

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 Rhode Island’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.
