The Story Behind the Print
This 1881 botanical plate depicts Dasya elegans in the fine branching or frond detail of nineteenth-century marine illustration. The original printed species caption and plate number remain part of the composition.
The seaweed is centered on a softly brightened, warm paper ground. Its species is associated with the New England coast. Pair it with other plates in the series for a coordinated arrangement.
Printed to order on archival matte fine art paper. The artwork is available at 8 × 12 inches, either as Print Only or professionally framed in Satin Black, Slimwood Silver, or Slimwood Gold. Framed prints have no mat and arrive ready to hang.
The stated size is the paper artwork; the frame adds to the outside dimensions. The print preserves the character and fine lettering of the historic plate. Screen settings may affect color.
About the Frame
Framed pieces are built to order in solid wood with clear acrylic glazing, dry-mounted artwork, a kraft paper dust cover, and hanging wire. Each piece arrives ready to hang. No mat. Satin Black has a 7/8-inch face and adds 1.25 inches to the total width and height. Slimwood Silver and Slimwood Gold have a 1 1/8-inch face and add 1.75 inches to the total width and height.
The selected size refers to the artwork itself. Framed orders are custom made and ship within 7 to 10 business days, free in the U.S. See our shipping and return policies for framed piece details.
