Description
A vintage illustration of an American White Pelican by renowned American ornithologist and painter John James Audubon. This unglazed print is finished with hand-applied texturing and presented in traditional-style black and antique gold frame, ready to hang on your wall. John James Audubon (1785-1851) was a self-trained American artist, naturalist and ornithologist. His combined interests in art and ornithology turned into a plan to make a complete pictorial record of all the bird species of North America. Have you thought about wall hooks and fittings?
Our Stylist Says
I really like this Pelican print for its vintage botanical feel and detailed illustration, which adds a touch of character to both traditional and modern interiors. It's versatile enough to work well in a gallery wall or as a standalone statement piece in a living room or study. I’d recommend pairing it with natural textures, such as wooden furniture or woven textiles, to complement the wildlife theme. For a more contemporary look, try mounting it with minimal framing and plenty of space around it to let the artwork breathe. Overall, it’s an excellent way to inject a bit of natural history into your decor without it feeling overly formal or institutional.

About John Lewis
A Legacy of Innovation and Inclusion
John Lewis started as a small shop on London's Oxford Street in 1864. Today, it's part of a bigger family called the John Lewis Partnership, which also includes Waitrose stores.
What makes them special is that they're owned by their employees, known as 'Partners'. The idea, from the beginning, was to give everyone a say in how the business was run. With over 74,000 Partners (employees) at the heart of its operations, the essence of John Lewis's vision, from over a century ago, still echoes today being the largest employee-owned venture.
Adapting to Changing Times
Like many stores, John Lewis has had to change with the times. They've closed some shops but have grown their online business a lot, especially when more people started shopping online during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Their history is filled with key moments, like buying Peter Jones in 1905, adding Waitrose in 1937, and starting their website in 2001. They've always tried to adapt and stay relevant.
Commitment to a Greater Purpose
John Lewis believes in doing good and making the world a better place. This is seen in the way they treat their employees and customers. For example, in 2021, they were the first big UK store to give parents six months paid leave when they have a baby and two weeks paid leave if they lose a pregnancy. They've been around for over a century and always aim to do the right thing by everyone.
