{"product_id":"long-haired-squirrel-sciurus-longipilis-by-john-woodhouse-audubon-1845","title":"Long-haired Squirrel (Sciurus longipilis) by John Woodhouse Audubon, 1845","description":"\u003cp\u003eSciurus longipilis, Long-haired Squirrel. Natural size. (1845–1848) by John Woodhouse Audubon is a quintessential Victorian zoological illustration, uniting scientific precision with painterly grace. Created in 1845 and issued in the mid-1840s, the plate presents the Long-haired Squirrel at true-to-life scale, a hallmark of 19th-century natural history art. Audubon positions the animal among autumnal foliage, where crisp contours and delicate textures underscore an era captivated by taxonomy, exploration, and the beauty of the American wilderness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis listing offers a high-quality fine art print of the work, produced on your choice of acid-free archival paper or luxurious artist’s cotton canvas. The Unique Maps Co. prints with museum-grade inks for longevity and color fidelity, and offers a range of sizes to suit intimate reading nooks or statement walls. Add optional framing, select matting styles, and request personalization—such as a dedication or custom title line—to create a print tailored to your space or gift list.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJohn Woodhouse Audubon (1812–1862), son of the famed John James Audubon, forged his own reputation as a skilled observer and illustrator of North American wildlife. His drawings are celebrated for their anatomical accuracy and field-informed naturalism, qualities that helped bridge the emerging disciplines of zoology and ecology with the aesthetics of fine art. This plate reflects that lineage: closely studied forms, rich surface detail, and an elegant composition that keeps the eye on the animal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe subject here—Sciurus longipilis, the Long-haired Squirrel—appears poised and alert, rendered at natural size to underscore proportion and habitat fit. The squirrel’s luxuriant coat and lively pose animate the branch, while the surrounding maple leaves anchor the scene in a truthful seasonal context. Works like this were prized in their day for making scientific knowledge both accessible and beautiful, and they continue to serve as visual records of 19th-century curiosity about biodiversity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eColor is a key pleasure of this print. Warm oranges and russets in the foliage are set against deep browns and soft blacks in the squirrel’s fur, with white highlights picking out the muzzle, chest, and tail edges. Fine gradations—especially through the longer guard hairs—convey a tactile, almost three-dimensional effect. The restrained, naturalistic setting lets the palette shine without distraction, making the piece a versatile accent in interiors from traditional libraries to modern, nature-inspired spaces. For collectors, it’s a compelling intersection of art and science; for decorators, an autumnal pop that reads as both sophisticated and serene.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fine art print makes a thoughtful gift for naturalists, squirrel enthusiasts, and anyone who loves the quiet drama of woodland scenes—perfect for Christmas, birthdays, Mother’s or Father’s Day, or as a refined housewarming present. It’s equally fitting for a study, nursery, lake house, or cabin, and a charming choice for someone who’s recently returned from a national park or fall foliage trip.\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=\"\/it\/pages\/contact-us\"\u003econtact me\u003c\/a\u003e.
