Printed on Hahnemuhle Photo Rag 308gsm.

Archilochus colubris at a fuchsia bloom, the gorget catching light, wings reduced to a soft haze on either side of the body. That iridescent red throat burns against a drop of crimson petals, composed with clean negative space so the colour has room to carry.

The print

A fine-art study in a contemporary Audubon-inspired natural-history style with a soft paper-grain finish, set on a warm cream ground with deep botanical greens.

Paper and finish

Unframed prints come on Hahnemühle Photo Rag 308gsm, a heavyweight archival cotton rag with a soft matte surface. Choose the framed option and the print arrives mounted, glazed and ready to hang, in your choice of black, white or natural frame.

Sizes

Three sizes: 8 x 10, 16 x 20 and 24 x 30 inches. Prints from $39. Framed from $99.

About the bird

The Ruby-throated Hummingbird is the only hummingbird that breeds widely in eastern North America. The male’s gorget is not pigment but structural colour, microscopic platelets in the feather barbs that interfere with light to produce the red; tilt the angle thirty degrees and it goes flat black. This bird weighs about three grams. In late summer it roughly doubles its body weight in fat, then crosses the Gulf of Mexico in a single non-stop flight of 18 to 22 hours over open water to reach its Central American wintering grounds, before flying back north again each spring to find your garden.
