The Story Behind the Print
This archival print reproduces an 1878 plate of whaleboat and equipment from Alexander Starbuck's History of the American Whale Fishery. It retains the complete historical illustration and its original printed frame.
The engraving shows long whaling implements, a boat scene and labeled working equipment. The black line work and original plate number give this piece the character of a nineteenth-century maritime illustration.
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.
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.

“I contacted Paola and asked if she could print me a Sanibel Island map - even though there wasn't one on her page for sale. She immediately responded with "yes" and sent me a photograph before printing for me to approve. My package came well protected; and my picture is absolutely perfect! It looks beautiful in the distressed wood frame I bought. My mom is going to love it; and now I have to order one for myself!”
“I absolutely love my framed map of Charleston. I ordered the 36x48 and it looks gorgeous hanging in my kitchen. The size makes it such a statement piece and everyone comments on how much they like it! It came with the hanging hardware, which was helpful and easy to use.”
