“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.”

The Story Behind the Print
Whelks — American Marine Conchology, Plate 6
This fine art print reproduces Plate 6 from George W. Tryon's American Marine Conchology, published in 1873. The hand-colored composition depicts Ficus papyraceus among the marine mollusks named in the original book. The plate's historical lettering and figure numbers are retained. One or more depicted species have documented Cape Cod relevance.
Printed to order on archival matte fine art paper. Available in 8 × 12 and 10 × 15 inches. The selected size is the complete artwork. Choose Print Only or a ready-to-hang Slimwood Silver, Slimwood Gold, or Satin Black frame. Framed pieces are supplied without a mat.
Colors may vary slightly with screen settings. Historical species names on the plate are preserved as printed.
