Original vintage lithograph on paper from the Poster Reserve archive.

Mallards arrive at a winter pond surrounded by snow-laden banks and bare woodland trees. A green-headed drake and an approaching hen command the center, while other ducks animate the water and sky. August Holland’s warm reflection on the pond offsets the blue-white snow, creating a scene with both seasonal stillness and lively movement. This large 22 × 28-inch original vintage lithograph suits a waterfowl collection, cabin or traditional study.

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.
