{"product_id":"black-tailed-hare-lepus-negricaudatus-by-john-woodhouse-audubon-1845","title":"Black-tailed Hare (Lepus negricaudatus) by John Woodhouse Audubon, 1845","description":"\u003cp\u003eJohn Woodhouse Audubon’s Lepus negricaudatus, Black-tailed Hare. Male. Natural size. (1845) captures the nineteenth century’s devotion to natural history with an image that is both scientifically precise and poetically composed. Presented in full profile, the hare is rendered with an almost tactile fidelity to fur, posture, and musculature, embodying the Victorian zoological illustration’s goal: to inform as carefully as it delights. The clear species identification and “natural size” notation affirm its documentary rigor, while the poised, dignified stance elevates the animal from specimen to subject.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOffered by The Unique Maps Co. as a museum-quality fine art print, this piece is available on acid-free archival paper or artist’s cotton canvas. Choose from a range of sizes, add custom framing and matting, and personalize your print with bespoke captions or dedication plates. Every edition is produced with care for color fidelity and crisp detail, so the nuanced textures and tones of this classic naturalist plate translate beautifully to your wall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAudubon—an American wildlife artist renowned for his nuanced portrayals of animals—was deeply rooted in the era’s scientific enterprise. A meticulous observer, he brought the same commitment to anatomical truth and lifelike gesture to mammals that his family name made famous in ornithology. Working within the flourishing traditions of nineteenth-century lithography and naturalist art, he helped bridge field study and fine art, ensuring creatures like the black-tailed hare would be recorded with grace and accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis print’s subject is notable for its clarity of identification: Lepus negricaudatus, the black-tailed hare. The plate’s “Male” and “Natural size” labeling reflects a period when artists and naturalists partnered to create visual records accurate enough for study and comparison. It is an image that operates on two levels—an elegant portrait that invites contemplation, and a scientific illustration that reveals external anatomy, comportment, and habitat cues with exacting care.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe color palette leans into earthy greens, warm orange-browns, and crisp whites, harmonizing the animal with its setting. Precise, controlled strokes articulate the pelt’s directional growth and sheen; delicate highlights along the ears and haunches read as soft, white glints, while the surrounding foliage is modeled in layered greens that feel both soft and verdant. The lithographic approach supports fine tonal transitions and sharp linework, giving the hare a lifelike presence against a clean, balanced ground—an aesthetic that suits both a classic library and a contemporary interior.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA thoughtful gift for natural history enthusiasts, wildlife lovers, scientists, and art collectors alike, this timeless Audubon print makes a distinguished present for Christmas, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, birthdays, graduations, or a housewarming. Its blend of scholarship and beauty ensures it will remain a treasured focal point for years to come.\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.
