The Story Behind the Print
Octopus rugosus — American Marine Conchology, Plate 1
A digitally reconstructed edition of Plate 1 from George W. Tryon’s American Marine Conchology (1873), featuring Octopus rugosus within its historical marine-life composition.
The warm paper background and fine border are coordinated throughout this 44-plate collection, making it easy to pair several prints. Historical lettering and figure numbers retain the character of the original plate.
Print and Framing Options
Available in 8 × 12 and 10 × 15 inches, printed to order on archival matte fine art paper. Choose Print Only or ready-to-hang Slimwood Silver, Slimwood Gold, or Satin Black framing, without a mat. The selected size is the complete paper artwork; the frame adds to the outside dimensions. Display props are not included.
About This Edition
This edition has been digitally reconstructed with a coordinated paper background. Fine details may differ from the 1873 printing. Screen settings may cause slight color variation.
About the Frame

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.
