Continua a leggereSpermophilus Parryi, Parry’s Marmot Squirrel. Natural size. (1845) by John Woodhouse Audubon is a quintessential example of 19th‑century natural-history art—scholarly in intent yet wonderfully alive on the page. Audubon presents the animal in full, true-to-life proportions, its rounded body poised against a spare landscape that reads as both habitat and stage. Created amid the era’s fervor for cataloguing North American fauna, the composition balances scientific clarity with painterly sensitivity, inviting close study as much as quiet admiration.
This is a museum-quality fine art print from The Unique Maps Co., produced with archival pigment inks on your choice of acid-free, heavyweight art paper or artist’s cotton canvas. Available in multiple sizes, it can be ordered unframed or expertly framed in gallery profiles, with optional matting. Personalization options include custom captions, date lines, and border treatments, and we are happy to accommodate bespoke sizing to suit your space.
John Woodhouse Audubon (1812–1862), son of the famed John James Audubon, was a gifted observer and draftsman who helped bring the wildlife of North America to an audience of scientists and curious readers alike. His contributions to mid-19th‑century natural-history publishing combined meticulous field observation with the refined techniques of hand-colored lithography, ensuring that each plate served both study and display.
Here the subject is Spermophilus parryi—commonly known in period sources as Parry’s marmot squirrel and widely recognized today as the Arctic ground squirrel. Documented at natural size, the animal’s anatomy, pose, and proportions were designed for accuracy, reflecting the encyclopedic aims of Victorian zoological illustration. Works like this underpinned the classification of species during a time of exploration, when pictures often traveled further and faster than specimens themselves.
Color and craft are quietly elegant. The animal’s orange-russet coat is modeled with fine, feathery strokes, its pale, whitish highlights and warm brown shadows giving a tactile sense of fur and form. Subtle tonal gradients suggest light grazing the back and tail, while the angular rocks and understated groundplane introduce structure and depth against the squirrel’s rounded silhouette. The restrained palette—anchored by orange, white, and earthy browns—reads beautifully in both traditional studies and contemporary interiors, making this an ideal print to anchor a reading nook or nature-themed gallery wall.
Whether you’re a naturalist, a lover of Victorian art, or simply drawn to beautifully rendered wildlife, this print is a timeless choice. It makes a thoughtful gift for birthdays, Christmas, Father’s Day or Mother’s Day, a housewarming, or for someone recently returned from travels to Alaska or the broader North—an enduring celebration of the bond between art and science.
If you're not sure what size to order, or you're looking for a custom order of some kind – a different size, a different colour, a special frame – then please contact me. I usually respond within a few minutes.
You can see an example of my fine art personalisation service in the fifth image. Zoom in and take a look. My personalised artwork is always very well received. Take a look at more examples of personalisation.
You can also choose to age your art print to make it look older. This is popular amongst my customers who want their artwork to look like an older, antique print. You can see an example of ageing in the sixth product image, or go ahead and check out lots of examples of other aged artwork.
The model in the listing images is holding the 18x24in (45x60cm) version of this art print.
I can print and frame this beautiful piece of art at sizes up to 3 metres (10ft). If you are looking for a size or framing option that isn't available online, please get in touch.
This artwork is available as a giclée print on acid free archival matte paper, or you can buy it framed. My standard frames come in six colours (black, dark brown, dark grey, antique gold, oak and white), and custom framing is available for an additional charge. My frames are glazed with super-clear museum-grade acrylic (perspex/acrylite), which is significantly less reflective than glass, safer, and will always arrive in perfect condition.
This artwork is also available as a float framed canvas, sometimes known as a shadow gap framed canvas or canvas floater. The work is printed on artist's cotton canvas and then stretched over a handmade box frame. We then "float" the canvas inside a wooden frame, which is available in a range of colours (black, dark brown, oak, antique gold and white). This is a wonderful way to present an art print without glazing in front. See some examples of float framed canvas art and explore the differences between my different finishes.

Our standard frame is a gallery-style black ash hardwood frame, with a simple, modern look. It is approximately 20mm (0.8in) wide. You can also view some lovely customer photos of framed maps and art.
We use super-clear acrylic glazing, also known as Perspex or Acrylite, instead of traditional glass. It is lighter, safer, and has lower reflectivity, giving the artwork a clearer, cleaner appearance.
Six standard frame colours are available at no extra cost: black, dark brown, dark grey, oak, white, and antique gold. Custom framing and mounting/matting is also available for customers looking for something more specific.
Most maps, art prints, and illustrations are also available as a framed canvas. We use matte cotton canvas, stretch it over a sustainably sourced wooden box frame, and then float the piece within a wooden outer frame. The finished result is beautifully presented, with no glazing between you and the artwork.
All frames are supplied ready to hang, with either string or brackets fitted to the back. Very large frames will include heavy-duty hanging plates and/or a mounting baton. If you have any questions, please get in touch.
We can also supply old maps and artwork on canvas, foam board, cotton rag, and other materials.
If you would prefer to frame your map or artwork yourself, please read our size guide before ordering.
Ogni stampa artistica restaurata inizia dall’opera originale dell’artista—mai da una sostituzione generata dall’IA.
Il nostro studio di Londra lavora a partire da materiali di origine accuratamente selezionati da musei, biblioteche, archivi e collezioni private. Restauriamo i danni dovuti all’età, i colori sbiaditi e le imperfezioni di riproduzione, preservando al contempo la composizione, il tratto del pennello, il segno, la texture e il carattere d’epoca dell’artista.
Non utilizziamo l’IA generativa per ridisegnare, reinterpretare o inventare l’opera. Il restauro digitale viene impiegato solo per recuperare e riprodurre l’opera originale nel modo più fedele possibile.
Una volta restaurata, l’opera master viene preparata per il formato e la finitura da te scelti. Il tuo pezzo viene quindi stampato e, se selezionato, incorniciato vicino alla destinazione di consegna.
Le nostre stampe artistiche giclée utilizzano carta opaca archivistica senza acidi da 200 g/m² e inchiostri pigmentati resistenti allo sbiadimento, per una finitura ricca e di qualità museale. Le stampe artistiche incorniciate utilizzano acrilico ottico cristallino e arrivano pronte da appendere.
Sono disponibili anche tele incorniciate ed edizioni speciali su cotone-rag. Scopri di più sui nostri materiali e finiture.
Restauriamo e produciamo mappe e stampe d’arte dal 1984, e garantiamo personalmente ogni pezzo.
Ogni ordine è coperto dalla nostra garanzia di 10 anni e dalla garanzia di consegna senza danni. Se il vostro pezzo arriva danneggiato, lo sostituiremo o lo rifaremo gratuitamente. Se qualsiasi altro aspetto non fosse conforme, contattate il nostro team di laboratorio e provvederemo tempestivamente a risolvere il problema.
Per tutti i dettagli, consultate la nostra politica su resi e rimborsi.
