This high-quality art print is perfect for wildlife lovers, adding a unique touch of coastal charm and natural history to any home decor collection. Drawn by renowned wildlife illustrator and author Ben Rothery.

The blue-footed booby is a unique seabird famous for its striking, vivid blue feet, which play an essential role in its mating rituals. Native to the Pacific coastlines, especially the Galápagos Islands, this bird uses its colourful feet to attract mates by performing an elaborate dance, lifting its feet one by one to showcase the intensity of the blue hue—brighter feet often indicate a healthier mate. This bird’s name, “booby,” comes from the Spanish “bobo,” meaning “clown,” a nod to its awkward, comical movements on land.

Known for his unique blend of traditional natural history illustration with a modern twist, Ben’s works bring animals to life with precision and charm. This Blue-Footed Booby print captures the quirky elegance of this iconic species, perfect for nature lovers and art enthusiasts alike.

Each print in Ben Rothery’s collection is drawn from his acclaimed books and highlights over 150 wildlife species, from the strikingly beautiful to the curiously odd. The prints are made using archival inks on 310gsm, 100% Cotton Rag German Etching Paper, a choice that enhances the depth, texture, and rich colour fidelity of the original illustration. This meticulous process gives each print a museum-quality finish that preserves its vibrant colours and intricate details over time.
