Art Print Poster American White Pelican
The proud American White Pelican is among the world's largest waterfowl with a wingspan close to three meters. In the mating season its beacon grows a "horn" which will later fall off again. This bird has already impressed the unknown graphic artist back in the 18th century who painted this image which Henrik Dybdahl made into a poster.
Artist and master of library and information science Henrik Dybdahl digitalizes and restores images from old early 19th century school books. He re-arranges these depictions of plants and animals to large high quality poster prints which appear as old and new at the same time. Also they make us aware of how our perception has changed: while back then flora and fauna were recognised as an endless supply of resources (and exotic adventure stories) we see today a fragile eco-system inhabited by endangered species.
This poster is designed, printed and manually cut in Dybdahl's studio outside of Copenhagen. The print uses high grade japanese archival ink and enhanced matte paper to ensure the brillance of the print for many decades to come.
You may order this poster along with a magnetic frame made of oak wood. Two pairs of bars (for the upper and lower margin of the poster) are kept together magnetically, spreading out the hanging poster without causing damage.
By request this poster is available in other sizes - please get in touch.
