Pteromys sabrinus, Severn River Flying Squirrel; 2. Pteromys alpinus, Rocky Mountain Squirrel” captures the 19th‑century ambition to document North America’s wildlife with both scientific rigor and painterly grace. A leading figure within the famed Audubon family, John Woodhouse brings a lively immediacy to his subjects: one squirrel poised along a sturdy trunk, the other in an athletic leap, their forms rendered with crisp anatomy and tactile fur textures. Created during an era when exploration and taxonomy surged, the illustration balances observation and artistry, preserving a moment of Victorian zoological curiosity for the modern eye.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOffered as a museum‑quality fine art print by The Unique Maps Co., this piece is available on acid‑free archival paper or richly textured artist’s cotton canvas. Choose from a range of sizes to suit your space, with optional framing and matting. Personalization is also available, including custom captions, dates, and dedication lines—ideal for creating a bespoke keepsake that celebrates your passion for natural history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout the artist: John Woodhouse Audubon (1812–1862) was the gifted son of John James Audubon, and a principal contributor to the celebrated tradition of American naturalist illustration. Trained in field observation and draftsmanship, he produced mammal studies that joined scientific clarity with expressive composition. His works from the mid‑1840s helped define a visual language for fauna that influenced natural history publishing for generations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout the subject: This plate depicts two closely studied species of flying squirrel as they were known in the period—Pteromys sabrinus (Severn River Flying Squirrel) and Pteromys alpinus (Rocky Mountain Squirrel)—reflecting a time when North America’s northern forests and western ranges were being cataloged with newfound intensity. The dynamic contrast between the leaping figure and the grounded counterpart suggests real behavior in the canopy, while the faithful portrayal of form, proportion, and habitat details anchors the image in the scientific ethos of its day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout the style and color: Executed in the refined Victorian zoological mode, the image blends delicate brushwork for fur with more assertive strokes that articulate bark and foliage. The palette’s warm, orangish russets in the pelage meet mossy greens and soft white creams, creating a natural harmony that feels both accurate and inviting. The composition’s strong diagonal trunk, open negative space, and life‑like texturing offer an elegant focal point—equally at home in a study, library, or living room—making it an excellent choice for collectors who appreciate the intersection of art and science.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis fine art print makes a thoughtful gift for lovers of wildlife, natural history enthusiasts, hikers and travelers with ties to the Rockies or northern forests, and anyone curating a classic, nature‑inspired interior. Perfect for birthdays, graduations, Mother’s or Father’s Day, Christmas, or as a meaningful housewarming present.\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=\"\/fr\/pages\/contact-us\"\u003econtact me\u003c\/a\u003e.
