{"product_id":"audubon-great-blue-heron-marsh-print","title":"Audubon Heron in the Marsh – Bird Art Print","description":"\u003cp\u003eA great blue heron wades through pale marsh reeds, its long neck curved and slate-grey plumage catching soft light against a muted wetland backdrop. The \u003cem\u003eJohn James Audubon Great Blue Heron\u003c\/em\u003e reproduces the naturalist's hand-drawn detail from The Birds of America, from the dagger bill to each layered feather. It carries the quiet stillness of a bird poised at the water's edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMade for birdwatchers, naturalists and lovers of antique illustration, this heron suits a calm, considered home. Hang it above a reading chair in the study or over a sideboard in the living room where its earthy tones settle the space.

Only a few complete original copies survive, and their historical and artistic importance drives auction prices into the millions, making it one of the most valuable printed books ever produced.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-weight:700;\"\u003eWhat is the 2026 bird of the year?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBird of the year titles are chosen by conservation groups and vary by country, so the 2026 winner depends on the organisation running the poll. Announcements typically arrive late in the preceding year. Check your national birding or ornithology society for the confirmed 2026 selection once voting closes and results are published.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-weight:700;\"\u003eHow many copies of Birds of America are there?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAround 200 complete original copies of The Birds of America were produced during Audubon's lifetime, and roughly 120 are believed to survive today. Many are held by museums, libraries and universities, with only a handful remaining in private hands, which explains their scarcity and enduring collectible value.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"font-weight:700;\"\u003eHow much is The Birds of America book worth?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eComplete original editions of The Birds of America have sold at auction for between roughly 8 and 12 million dollars, with one copy reaching over 11 million. Value depends on condition, completeness and provenance. Individual original plates can also fetch thousands, while quality reproductions remain affordable.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Haus of Prints","offers":[{"title":"16x20","offer_id":48876932923584,"sku":"audubon-great-blue-heron-marsh-print-16x20","price":69.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5x7","offer_id":48876932825280,"sku":"audubon-great-blue-heron-marsh-print-5x7","price":34.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8x10","offer_id":48876932858048,"sku":"audubon-great-blue-heron-marsh-print-8x10","price":54.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11x14","offer_id":48876932890816,"sku":"audubon-great-blue-heron-marsh-print-11x14","price":64.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"A3","offer_id":48876932956352,"sku":"audubon-great-blue-heron-marsh-print-A3","price":69.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18x24","offer_id":48876932989120,"sku":"audubon-great-blue-heron-marsh-print-18x24","price":84.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20x25","offer_id":48876933021888,"sku":"audubon-great-blue-heron-marsh-print-20x25","price":89.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"24x30","offer_id":48876933054656,"sku":"audubon-great-blue-heron-marsh-print-24x30","price":99.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"24x36","offer_id":48876933087424,"sku":"audubon-great-blue-heron-marsh-print-24x36","price":115.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"32x40","offer_id":48876933120192,"sku":"audubon-great-blue-heron-marsh-print-32x40","price":129.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0692\/1758\/3296\/files\/audubon-great-blue-heron-marsh-print-land-statement.webp?v=1787541394","url":"https:\/\/hausofprints.com\/products\/audubon-great-blue-heron-marsh-print","provider":"Haus of Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
