(Natural size.) (1845) is a classic of Victorian zoological illustration from the mid-19th century, created at the height of America’s fascination with natural history. The work presents Say’s squirrel at true-to-life scale, rendered with the keen observational care that defined the Audubon family’s legacy. Rather than staging a dramatic scene, Audubon focuses on the animal’s form and texture—an approach that served both scientific education and aesthetic appreciation as interest in North American fauna surged.\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. Available in a range of sizes, each print can be ordered with or without a border, and with optional conservation-grade framing. The Unique Maps Co. also offers personalization—add a discreet caption, dedication, or date to make the piece uniquely yours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJohn Woodhouse Audubon (1812–1862), son of John James Audubon, was a distinguished wildlife artist in his own right. He contributed extensively to the Audubon family’s natural history projects, combining careful field observation with a refined sense of composition. His plates helped bring the era’s expanding body of zoological knowledge to readers and collectors, setting a high standard for scientific art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis particular subject—historically identified as Sciurus sayi (Say’s squirrel)—captures the animal in a poised, attentive stance on a fallen branch, reflecting the period’s commitment to illustrating species at “natural size” for easy comparison and study. The image typifies the 1840s intersection of art, taxonomy, and publishing innovation, when lithography and meticulous hand-finishing elevated wildlife illustration into a beloved cultural form. In this plate, the focus is on anatomy, coat character, and posture—visual cues that helped 19th-century audiences understand and differentiate species.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe palette emphasizes warm, earthy hues—rusty orange, rich browns, and small highlights of white—set against a softly suggested woodland background. Fine strokes articulate the fur’s plush texture, while crisper marks bring out features such as the eyes, claws, and whiskers. The curved sweep of the tail and the rounded body contours create a pleasing rhythm that feels both lively and composed, making the print as engaging for a living space as it is instructive in a study or library. For nature lovers, collectors of Victorian scientific art, and admirers of Audubon’s legacy, this print offers a timeless union of precision and beauty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA thoughtful gift for birthdays, Christmas, Mother’s or Father’s Day, housewarmings, or for anyone who has a fondness for North American wildlife, this elegant print suits interiors ranging from classic studies and cabins to contemporary galleries and reading nooks.\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.
