Hello, this item is a limited-edition reproduction of “Ruby-throated Humming Bird” after the original 19th-century engraving by Robert Havell, who printed and hand-colored John James Audubon’s The Birds of America plates. This modern edition, numbered 714/2000, was published by Old Mission Gallery, bearing its embossed seal of authenticity.

The print depicts male, female, and young hummingbirds among trumpet flowers (Bignonia radicans), a composition celebrated for its color precision and naturalistic detail. The plate was one of Audubon’s most admired works, originally engraved by Havell in London between 1827 and 1838. The present edition is a 20th-century authorized reproduction, not an antique Havell original. Market value for limited editions from Old Mission Gallery or similar authorized reproductions typically ranges between 150 and 300 USD, depending on condition and framing quality.
