When it comes to iconic representations of North American wildlife, John James Audubon’s detailed and lifelike bird illustrations in "The Birds of America" stand unparalleled. Among his celebrated works, the Great Blue Heron stands out for its grandeur and elegance.
Now, The Poet and The Piper have breathed new life into this historical artwork, offering a modern homage that merges tradition with cutting-edge printing technology. But why would self confessed 'lovers of all things old and antique' want to offer a 'reimagining' ?
Bridging Past and Present: Reimagining antique artworks allows for a harmonious blend of history with modernity. It introduces classic art to contemporary audiences in a way that feels fresh and relevant, keeping the legacy of the past alive in today's cultural landscape.
High Picture Quality: One of the standout features of The Poet and The Piper’s rendition is the exceptional picture quality. Utilizing modern processes, we have achieved a crisp, high-definition finish that surpasses traditional reproduction prints. This ensures that every feather, every ripple in the water, and every delicate hue is captured with stunning clarity.
Exceptional Print Quality: Our prints are crafted on premium textured paper. This 310gsm heavyweight fine art paper boasts a velvety surface that brings out rich colors and fine details. Not only is this acid-free paper resistant to aging, but it also ensures your art piece remains vibrant and durable over the years. The tactile quality of the paper adds an additional layer of authenticity and sophistication, making it a standout piece in any collection.
Uniqueness and Exclusivity: Unlike mass-produced prints, The Poet and The Piper's creations are unique and sold in limited numbers. This exclusivity means you are likely to be the only person in your circle with this stunning artwork adorning your walls.
Supporting a Small Creative Business: Purchasing from The Poet and The Piper also means supporting a small, creative business. In an era dominated by mass production, supporting small businesses like The Poet and The Piper helps preserve the integrity and individuality as well as the futrure of artistic expression.
Customization to Fit Your Needs: A significant advantage of buying from The Poet and The Piper is the customizable nature of their prints. Whether you prefer a specific size or need the artwork to fit a unique frame, we can tailor the print to meet your requirements.
For example, both of the antique frames from the late 1800s (pictured in this blog) required a custom creation. Framed without glass, they exude a true vintage feel by highlighting the texture of the paper, enhancing the overall aesthetic.
The Poet and The Piper offer a variety of sizes to suit different spaces and preferences. As Creatives, rather than just printers, our flexibility and attention to detail ensure that each piece not only fits perfectly in your chosen frame but also harmonizes with your interior decor, adding a timeless touch to your home.
