Can I expedite shipping?

Normally, orders will be packed and mailed within 2 business days of receiving payment. Shipping can be expedited - please contact me before purchase so I can determine the most expedient and cost effective shipping method.

Is my purchase insured?

All purchases are fully insured. According to insurance carrier stipulations, all items sold for $1000 or more are shipped with a signature required on delivery.

My item was lost/damaged in the mail. What do I do?

No worries - all purchases are fully insured. In the unlikely event that an item is damaged in shipment, please notify me immediately upon receipt of the parcel. All packaging material and damaged goods must be kept in the original form as received. Packaging and damaged goods must not be disposed of, released to the shipping carrier, or returned to me before a claim is completed. Failure to comply will result in claim denial. Photograph the damaged item and all packing materials for insurance documentation purposes - multiple photos are recommended. During the claims process, a signed claim statement/affidavit will also be required. Please note claims adjustors may ask to examine the parcel when the claim is filed.

Do you ship internationally?

Yes - my shop has shipped parcels to happy customers in dozens of countries located on 6 continents. If you don't see your country listed as a shipping destination, please contact me for a shipping quote to your location. Your country may impose duty/tax/VAT and/or parcel handling fees which are the responsibility of the buyer. Outbound and return shipping charges will not be refunded due to failure to pay VAT and/or parcel handling fees. Please be aware it is unlawful for me to falsify dollar amounts on customs forms or to mark your purchase as a "gift" in order to avoid duty charges; please refrain from asking me to do so. Please send your phone number when you place your order to expedite delivery.

I want to return my purchase. What do I do?

Buyers must contact me within 14 days to authorize a return and are responsible for all return shipping costs including insurance. Insurance for the full purchase price & parcel tracking is required. Retain insurance documentation/parcel tracking numbers for your records. Items must be received in original undamaged condition. New packaging is highly recommended to protect you against liability for damage in shipment. Refunds will be issued after the parcel has arrived & the contents have been examined for potential damage in shipment. Refunds will not be given for items that are lost/damaged in shipment. Shipping costs both ways for unclaimed parcels/change of heart returns/failure to pay VAT are not refundable & will be deducted.

Fragile items are securely packaged and often double boxed to protect them whilst in transit. Please note that in consideration of the environment, clean and sturdy recycled materials may be used for shipping. I also utilize brand new natural biodegradable starch packing pellets which can be recycled or reused by parcel recipients. 🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃🍃

This vintage signed and numbered Plate 1 Songbird Series Limited Edition Cardinals print was issued in 1978 and is after an original work by wildlife artist and National Medal of Arts recipient, John Ruthven. A native of Ohio, Ruthven's works are in the style of John James Audubon. His pieces feature highly detailed studies of animals and birds, often in their natural habitat.

The subject of this signed and numbered original print - entitled 'Cardinal Richmondena cardinalis' - is a pair of male northern cardinals. The vivid red and black birds are depicted on the wing with a snowcapped pine in the background. The print has been mounted under a red mat which echoes the color of the cardinals along with a wider linen colored mat. The wood frame itself is gilded with a brick red accent at the outside.

The framed artwork is in excellent vintage condition with no tears or discoloration. The visible portion of the print measures 18.5" by 14.25". The piece has been pencil signed by the artist in the lower right hand corner and is hand numbered with edition number "567/950" at the lower left.

The print has been housed under glass in a structurally sound wood frame and is ready to hang upon receipt. The outer dimensions of the frame are 28.125" by 24.25" and the frame measures 1" deep. The black paper backing is intact and comes complete with the print's original labeled manilla envelope which is tucked inside an opening created for that purpose. The label affixed to the envelope reads "Plate I Songbird Series LIMITED EDITION OF Cardinals by John A. Ruthven Number 567 WILDLIFE INTERNATIONALE INC. BOX 35-A, ROUTE 1, GEORGETOWN, OHIO 45121". The framed artwork has a total weight of 7lbs 13oz. The most recent insurance value listed online for this print is $800.

This charming signed lithograph displays beautifully and coordinates well with many kinds of decor. A lovely vintage find!

Please note that due to the value of this piece, the listing will be fully insured and shipped with signature on receipt.
