“The Maryland map I received is stunning-- high quality and exactly as pictured. The seller, Justin, was very knowledgeable and responsive to all my questions about the image. I was able to follow up based on information he shared and provide this information to the recipient of my gift of this map. I will definitely shop here again.”

The Story Behind the Print
This fine art print reproduces Plate 89 from Arthur Cleveland Bent's Life Histories of North American Gulls and Terns, published by the United States National Museum in 1921. The color plate shows the eggs of the Elegant and Cabot's Terns, each numbered as on the original plate. The plate was lithographed in color by A. Hoen & Co. of Baltimore.
The portrait composition suits a study, library, coastal home or collected gallery wall. The sixteen egg plates in this series share one warm paper tone and matching borders, so several can hang together.
Premium Archival Quality
Printed to order with archival inks on heavyweight 325gsm museum-grade matte paper. The complete plate, including its heading, figure numbers and species legend, is centered on a continuous warm paper background.
Available Presentations

“Very pleased with Justin's work. We received our print in less than a week and couldn't be happier with the final result. Both the map and the frame were high quality with great detail. Justin was also a pleasure to work with and responded timely to all of my questions. I would highly recommend this shop.”
“Shipped soon after I ordered and came in about a week! (That includes a holiday and the weekend). I loved how carefully packaged my print came and it even had a note from the seller, very thoughtful touch. The print looks so clear and the paper is great quality, it looks even better than the picture online. I would 100% recommend this shop/ seller.”
