Original vintage lithograph on paper from the Poster Reserve archive.

A flock of Canada geese lifts over blue water and windswept marsh reeds beneath a wide, cloud-filled sky. Peter Cernia’s sweeping wings and staggered flight positions carry the eye through the scene, balanced by the warm tones of the shoreline. This large 22 × 28-inch original vintage lithograph brings movement and open space to a waterfowl collection, lakeside home or hunting lodge. The artwork is signed in lithograph and fills the sheet without an unprinted border.

Borderless lithograph: there is no white paper border on this lithograph. Any thin white strip outside the lithograph in the photographs is photography backing board, which is not included.
