{"product_id":"american-red-squirrel-tamiasciurus-hudsonicus-by-john-woodhouse-audubon-1845","title":"American Red Squirrel (Tamiasciurus hudsonicus) by John Woodhouse Audubon, 1845","description":"\u003cp\u003eJohn Woodhouse Audubon’s Sciurus Hudsonius, Hudson’s Bay Squirrel, Chickaree Red Squirrel. Natural size. (1845) is a finely observed Victorian zoological illustration from the high age of natural history. The American-born son of John James Audubon, John Woodhouse worked in the same tradition of pairing scientific exactitude with painterly grace. Here, the quick, compact form of the red squirrel springs to life against airy, botanical greens, its alert posture and richly burnished coat conveying both character and species-defining traits. Created in the mid-nineteenth century, when illustrated natural histories were expanding public knowledge of wildlife, this plate exemplifies the period’s union of scholarship and beauty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis listing offers a museum-quality fine art print of the artwork, produced on your choice of acid-free archival paper or artist’s cotton canvas. Each print is made to order in a range of sizes, with optional framing and matting. The Unique Maps Co. can personalize your piece with a custom caption (title, artist, and date), a dedication, or adjusted borders to suit your space. If you need a particular size or finish, we’re happy to tailor the print so it arrives ready to hang.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout the artist: John Woodhouse Audubon (1812–1862) was a painter-naturalist who collaborated extensively on The Viviparous Quadrupeds of North America, the landmark companion to his father’s celebrated bird volumes. Trained in field sketching and studio refinement, he became known for lifelike mammals portrayed with academic draftsmanship. His work helped popularize American fauna during a time when audiences were eager for images that were as informative as they were beautiful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout the subject: The plate depicts the American red squirrel—scientific name Tamiasciurus hudsonicus, historically catalogued as Sciurus hudsonius—also known as the Hudson’s Bay squirrel or “chickaree.” Widespread across the northern forests of North America, the species is instantly recognizable for its russet-brown coat, pale underbelly, and lively demeanor. The inscription “Natural size” underscores the period’s scientific aim: to present an accurate, one-to-one rendering for study and identification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout the style and color: This is natural history art at its best—precise anatomy set within a gracefully simplified habitat. Vibrant greens and yellow-green foliage frame the animal, while soft gradations and delicate linework sculpt the squirrel’s musculature, whiskers, and tail. Earthy browns glow against clean white space, a classic nineteenth-century compositional device that keeps attention on the specimen. The result is both a scientific document and a refined decorative print—equally at home in a library, study, nursery, or modern living room.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA timeless gift for nature lovers, hikers, and cabin dwellers, this Audubon print also makes a thoughtful present for Christmas, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, a housewarming, or for anyone newly returned from travels in Canada or the North American woods.\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=\"\/es\/pages\/contact-us\"\u003econtact me\u003c\/a\u003e.
