{"product_id":"warm-wood-hare-lepus-artemesia-by-john-woodhouse-audubon-1845","title":"Warm Wood Hare (Lepus artemesia) by John Woodhouse Audubon, 1845","description":"\u003cp\u003eJohn Woodhouse Audubon’s Lepus artemesia, Warm Wood Hare (Male \u0026amp; female, natural size), created in 1845, is a quintessential Victorian zoological illustration that fuses scientific study with refined artistry. The son of the celebrated ornithologist John James Audubon, John Woodhouse brings the same field-driven eye for anatomy and behavior to his mammals, presenting a pair of hares at true scale to anchor their forms in reality. Rooted in the 19th-century naturalist tradition, the work invites close looking—its quiet drama lies in posture, texture, and habitat rather than spectacle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis listing offers a museum-quality fine art print produced with archival pigments on acid-free, heavyweight paper or on artist’s cotton canvas. The Unique Maps Co. prints in a range of sizes, from intimate study pieces to statement formats, with optional conservation matting and custom framing. Personalization options include bespoke titleplates, commemorative inscriptions, and tailored sizing to suit your wall and lighting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout the artist: John Woodhouse Audubon (1812–1862) was a distinguished American natural history illustrator who helped carry forward his family’s legacy of observing wildlife directly from life. Working in the mid-1800s, he contributed to a pivotal moment when printed animal studies shaped public understanding of North American fauna. His draughtsmanship is characterized by precise outlines, sympathetic modeling, and a naturalist’s restraint—qualities that make his plates feel both scholarly and serenely beautiful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout the subject: Titled in the period hand as Lepus artemesia—Warm Wood Hare—the plate explicitly notes “Male \u0026amp; female” and “natural size,” underscoring its comparative purpose and fidelity to scale. That clarity of labeling reflects the era’s scientific ethos, when illustrations served as reference tools for scholars and curious readers alike. The paired animals, shown in attentive, lifelike postures, evoke a sense of quiet vigilance and hint at differing behaviors between the sexes—a subtle narrative embedded within a field study.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout the style and color: This image exemplifies 19th‑century naturalism, rendering fur, whiskers, and grasses with tactile detail. A warm palette—glints of orange and sunlit yellow across tawny coats, crisp white highlights at the chest and whisker line—rests against muted browns and soft greens that suggest scrub and meadow. Shadowing grounds each figure, and gentle gradients shape the contours without fuss, creating a calm, earthy harmony. The effect is both scientifically credible and decoratively inviting—equally at home in a study, library wall, or nature‑inspired living space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA timeless gift for naturalists, wildlife lovers, and Audubon admirers, this print also makes a thoughtful present for birthdays, housewarmings, Father’s or Mother’s Day, and Christmas. Its blend of art and science sparks conversation and nostalgia—perfect for anyone who treasures the quiet beauty of the natural world.\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.
