{"product_id":"red-tailed-squirrel-sciurus-rubricaudatus-by-john-woodhouse-audubon-1845","title":"Red-tailed Squirrel (Sciurus rubricaudatus) by John Woodhouse Audubon, 1845","description":"\u003cp\u003eJohn Woodhouse Audubon’s Sciurus rubricaudatus, Red-tailed Squirrel. Natural size. Male. (1845) is a refined Victorian zoological illustration that embodies the 19th‑century union of art and science. Audubon (1812–1862), an American naturalist-artist working in the mid-1800s, is celebrated for lifelike studies that balance meticulous observation with painterly grace. Here, a male red‑tailed squirrel is rendered at true scale, poised along a curving bough against a luminous white field, its sinewy body and expressive tail described with extraordinary care. Created in the mid‑1840s, at a moment when natural history publishing captivated the public imagination, this image functions as both an aesthetic statement and a precise field record.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis museum-quality edition is offered by The Unique Maps Co. as a fine art print on acid-free archival paper or on artist’s cotton canvas. Choose from a range of sizes—including options calibrated to the original plate scale—and add professional framing with conservation-grade materials. Personalization is available, from a discreet caption featuring the common and scientific names to custom matting, borders, and gift dedications to suit your space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout the artist: John Woodhouse Audubon, son and close collaborator of John James Audubon, was a gifted observer of North American wildlife. His career spanned sketching expeditions, studio studies from life and specimen, and the production of richly detailed plates that advanced the era’s scientific and artistic ambitions. He is particularly admired for the way he translates anatomical accuracy—especially fur and musculature—into compositions that feel alert, mobile, and alive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout the subject and its significance: The red-tailed squirrel—scientifically noted here as Sciurus rubricaudatus—appears in natural size and identified as male, underscoring 19th‑century commitments to taxonomy, comparative anatomy, and faithful scale. Mid-1840s naturalism prized exactitude, and works like this helped broaden public understanding of biodiversity, inspiring curiosity about species behavior, habitat, and conservation long before those words were commonplace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eColor, style, and why to own it: The palette is anchored by a clear white ground that sets off the squirrel’s rich rust-orange tail and warm umber body, with delicately modeled yellows and olive-greens in the foliage. Fine, hairline strokes articulate every filament of fur and the grain of bark, while the elegant S‑curve of the animal’s pose conveys nimble movement and balance. The result is a timeless natural history plate—clean, warm, and quietly dramatic—that suits interiors from classic studies and libraries to contemporary, minimalist spaces. It displays beautifully alone or paired with other 19th‑century zoological prints.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA thoughtful gift for naturalists, bird-and-mammal lovers, and anyone who cherishes woodland wildlife, this print makes an elegant choice for Christmas, Father’s Day, Mother’s Day, birthdays, or a housewarming—especially for someone who has recently returned from a nature-forward trip or simply loves the quiet poetry of the outdoors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you're not sure what size to order, or you're looking for a custom order of some kind \u003cspan\u003e–\u003c\/span\u003e a different size, a different colour, a special frame \u003cspan\u003e–\u003c\/span\u003e then please \u003ca href=\"\/de\/pages\/contact-us\"\u003econtact me\u003c\/a\u003e.
