{"product_id":"nuttalls-hare-lepus-nuttallii-by-john-woodhouse-audubon-1845","title":"Nuttall's Hare (Lepus nuttallii) by John Woodhouse Audubon, 1845","description":"\u003cp\u003eLepus nuttallii, Nuttall’s Hare. (Males. Natural size.) by John Woodhouse Audubon is a luminous example of Victorian zoological illustration at its most exacting and lyrical. Created in 1845, this lifelike study reflects the careful natural history work that made the Audubon name synonymous with 19th‑century exploration and documentation. The hare is presented at full scale, its posture alert and sinewy, with fur modeled hair‑by‑hair and set against gentle, rolling ground—an image that bridges science and art while capturing the era’s fascination with cataloguing North American wildlife.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis museum-quality reproduction is available as a fine art print on acid‑free archival paper or on artist’s cotton canvas. The Unique Maps Co. offers multiple sizes, including an option proportioned to the original plate, along with custom framing and matting. Personalization is available—add a dedication, date, or a discreet caption referencing the original title—so you can tailor the piece for your home or as a thoughtful gift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJohn Woodhouse Audubon (1812–1862), son of the famed John James Audubon, was both artist and naturalist, renowned for field observation and a deft painter’s eye. His quadruped studies were produced at a time when lithography made high‑fidelity images more accessible, helping to popularize natural history across the United States. His work preserves the immediacy of the living subject while meeting the scientific standards of the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe plate’s subject—explicitly labeled Lepus nuttallii, Nuttall’s Hare (Males. Natural size.)—epitomizes the 19th‑century drive to identify and understand North American fauna. Such images were more than decorative; they served as visual records for scholars and enthusiasts, shaping how the public recognized and valued native species. By presenting the animal at life size, Audubon provided a true sense of scale and anatomy, a teaching tool as compelling as it is beautiful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eColor and composition heighten the realism. A soft, natural palette of greens in the foliage anchors the scene, while warm browns and notes of yellow and orange in the earth and coat catch the light. Subtle pinks in scattered flowers add delicacy without distracting from the central figure. Flowing outlines suggest poised movement, and careful tonal gradation brings depth to the fur and terrain. It’s a piece that enriches both traditional and contemporary interiors—perfect for a study, library wall, or nature‑inspired gallery arrangement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Audubon classic makes a thoughtful gift for wildlife lovers, natural history enthusiasts, and collectors of Victorian art. It’s ideal for Christmas, birthdays, Father’s Day, Mother’s Day, or a housewarming, and a refined memento for anyone who cherishes the beauty of North American animals.\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=\"\/pages\/contact-us\"\u003econtact me\u003c\/a\u003e.
