The Story Behind the Print
Total Solar Eclipse records the corona observed on July 29, 1878. The dark solar disc sits against a warm grey field, surrounded by an irregular luminous form derived from contemporary eclipse photographs and identified on the sheet as Plate V.
The complete printed composition retains the plate number, publisher line, eclipse date and caption. Delicate stippling describes the corona's bright structure, while small marks and tonal variation remain part of the historical plate. Its printed details remain clear across the complete historical composition and surrounding annotations.
Printed on 325gsm museum-grade archival matte paper using fade-resistant giclée printing with archival inks, preserving the detail and character of the original for generations.
Colors may vary slightly between screens and the finished piece — the print will always be richer.
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.
