Based on a composition painted at Indian Key, Florida in April 1832. The landscape artist, George Lehman, painted the flowering limb of the geiger tree.

"I saw them as they approached the shore," Audubon wrote, "skimming along the surface of the waters, flying with great rapidity, much in the manner of the common house species, but not near each other like the Passenger Pigeon. On nearing the land, they rose to the height of about a hundred yards, surveyed the country in large circles, then with less velocity gradually descended, and alighted in the thickest parts of the mangroves and other low trees."

Appearing quite dark except for the shining white crown, most of these pigeons winter on Caribbean islands from whence they make an annual crossing to the Florida Keys to nest in colonies in coastal mangroves.

Princeton Audubon prints are far beyond mere reproductions. Princeton (formerly Princeton Polychrome Press) earned an enviable nationwide reputation by reproducing fine art prints for, among others, The National Gallery of Art, National Portrait Gallery, Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Whitney Museum of American Art, The New-York Historical Society, and The Detroit Institute of Arts. The finest reproductions of Picasso and Andrew Wyeth works were done by Princeton. Princeton double elephant prints, the same size as life, are also exceptional works of fine art and were produced by the same Master Printer, the late David O. Johnson of Princeton New Jersey, who was also one of the world's foremost collectors of the antique Audubon originals. Princetons are thus the real deal in Audubon fine art, the world's only direct-camera Audubon facsimiles.

Chris Lane of the ANTIQUES ROADSHOW: "...of all the full-size facsimiles of Audubon's prints, those from Princeton Audubon Limited come the closest in appearance and quality to the originals. Combining this with their very reasonable cost make the Princeton Audubon facsimiles winners for those looking to acquire some of the most dramatic American natural history images ever produced."
