{"product_id":"golden-mantled-ground-squirrel-spermophilus-lateralis-by-john-woodhouse-audubon-1845","title":"Golden-mantled Ground Squirrel (Spermophilus lateralis) by John Woodhouse Audubon, 1845","description":"\u003cp\u003eSpermophilus lateralis, Say’s Marmot Squirrel. Natural size. by John Woodhouse Audubon (1845) is a quietly riveting Victorian zoological illustration from one of America’s foremost wildlife artists. The son of the famed naturalist John James Audubon, John Woodhouse Audubon worked in the mid-19th century to document North America’s mammals with the same blend of field observation, artistry, and scientific rigor that defined his family name. Created in 1845 and published in the 1845–1848 period, this plate captures the golden-mantled ground squirrel at true-to-life scale, offering the immediacy and presence that made period natural history plates both educational and deeply aesthetic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis listing is for a museum-quality fine art print, produced on your choice of acid-free archival paper or artist’s cotton canvas. The Unique Maps Co. offers a range of sizes—from intimate study pieces to statement-making large formats—along with custom framing, matting, and glazing options. Personalization and bespoke finishing are available, including printed titleplates, commemorative inscriptions, and tailored sizing to suit your space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJohn Woodhouse Audubon (1812–1862) is celebrated for his contributions to The Quadrupeds of North America, bringing the living character of mammals into view with remarkable nuance. His approach merged fieldwork and composition, infusing scientific subjects with drama and dignity. Here, his steady eye for proportion and anatomy serves a practical purpose—identification and study—while granting the animal a sense of personality that transcends the page.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe subject itself—Spermophilus lateralis, commonly known as the golden-mantled ground squirrel—was recorded during a period of accelerated exploration and cataloging in the Americas. Notably labeled “Natural size,” this depiction communicates scale with clarity, which was vital for 19th-century readers using illustrations as reference material. The work also reflects the era’s evolving printmaking technologies, with richly prepared stones and hand-applied color enabling wide circulation of images that were both accurate and visually compelling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA refined palette of clean white, sunlit ochres, warm oranges, and yellow-gold brings the creature’s mantle and facial markings into crisp focus. Fine strokes articulate the fur’s subtle banding and gloss; the rounded, alert body contours contrast with craggy bark and ground textures to create a lively push and pull between softness and structure. The result is a composition that feels at once precise and inviting—ideal for study walls, nature-inspired interiors, or any room that celebrates the quiet splendor of North American wildlife.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA thoughtful gift for naturalists, hikers, or lovers of classic scientific art, this print is perfect for Christmas, birthdays, Father’s Day, Mother’s Day, housewarmings, or as a keepsake for someone who has recently returned from time spent in North America’s parks and wild places.\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.
