About This Design

Audubon's Cuvier's Kinglet Mystery Bird Sherpa Blanket

Audubon's Cuvier's Kinglet Mystery Bird Sherpa Blanket

This vintage reproduction of John James Audubon’s Plate 55 from Birds of America showcases the enigmatic Cuvier’s Kinglet, also known as Cuvier’s Regulus, perched delicately on a mountain laurel branch adorned with pink blossoms. One of Audubon’s “mystery birds,” the true identity of this species remains unknown to this day. Despite Audubon’s remarkable ability to accurately document over 400 bird species, Cuvier’s Kinglet has never been rediscovered since Audubon (supposedly) collected a specimen in Pennsylvania in 1812, naming it after the famed French zoologist Georges Cuvier. Audubon described the bird as having a dark forehead with striped markings similar to the Golden-crowned Kinglet, but with a striking red crown. Its resemblance to both the Ruby-crowned and Golden-crowned Kinglets has left ornithologists debating whether it was a unique species, a hybrid, or perhaps a bird that has since gone extinct. The mountain laurel, native to the eastern United States, adds to the charm of this mysterious bird, with its vibrant pink spring blossoms symbolising renewal and beauty. This fascinating artwork captures the intrigue of Audubon’s ornithological achievements and the mysteries of nature, making it a captivating “one of a kind” piece for bird enthusiasts, art collectors, and those drawn to the stories behind Audubon’s iconic illustrations.

The fabric is really soft, and thick, I’m sitting here with it wrapped around me and it’s so warm! It’s really smooth and sleek on the printed side and fluffy on the back. I love it! Such good quality, so vibrant and clear, not blurry at all! See the photos I’ve attached, there’s no filters or anything on them!

Fantastic quality and the size is brilliant. Already looking at what other products are on the site as I will definitely be buying from here again. Absolutely fantastic. Some images came up with a warning as I was making the blanket but I didn’t have another copy so I went for it. I expected the photo to be really blurry but although not as clear as the others it is much clearer than I expected.
