Study of a Vampire Bat - Samuel Howitt Art Print

Fine Art Prints

Forget cheap reproductions and printable posters. Only the best will do. Velvety matte fine art paper (warm white, archival-grade, 200gsm) with bold, vibrant, non-toxic pigment inks. 

High-definition print lab techniques give you sharper details, deeper saturation and true-to-life tones.

The matte surface keeps glare down and archival-grade materials mean the colors you fall for stay vivid for decades.

Framed Fine Art Prints

Your print arrives framed and ready to hang, so it goes straight from the box to your wall.

Chevron cut wooden frames make a timeless statement in three distinctive colors: black, white and natural.

Each frame is made of sustainably sourced FSC® certified European knotless pine, finished with ultra-clear perspex glaze that’s lighter than glass and shatter-resistant.

Float Framed Canvas Prints

Luscious artist-grade cotton canvas, hand-stretched and finely textured, gives every detail depth and precision. Its natural white surface catches light and color with striking clarity.

A precisely measured floating frame leaves a slim gap around the canvas, so it seems to hover with a sleek, gallery-worthy effect.

Your choice of a black, white or natural frame: all made from sustainably sourced FSC® certified European knotless pine.

Giclée Printing

The vampire bat rides the thin seam of evening, webbed digits steering like oars through a slate sky. Samuel Howitt catches the instant breath of air it steals, every vein in the membranous wing mapped by stipple and wash.

Below, a low strip of brush barely holds the page; above, Georgian air widens. Natural history meets theater. Zoological illustration turns predator into silhouette, then back into fur and pulse.

This Study of a Vampire Bat reads British print culture, chiroptera anatomy, field observation, Romantic attention, and the old engraving tradition through one brown body in motion. Ochre muzzle forward, it tests currents, cartography of night, scientific art learned by eye and hand, quiet accuracy that still feels alive.
