The Story Behind the Print
This archival print reproduces a 1874 whaling plate from Charles M. Scammon's The Marine Mammals of the North-western Coast of North America. Its original illustration, labels and historical paper character are preserved.
The plate shows an illustrated whaling scene above harpoons, lances and other labeled gear. Historic line work and original captions give the composition its nineteenth-century character.
Printed to order with archival inks on heavyweight 325gsm museum-grade matte paper. Choose an unframed print or a ready-to-hang finish in Slimwood Silver, Slimwood Gold or Satin Black.
Screen settings can affect printed colors. Fine historic lettering is best appreciated close up.
