The Story Behind the Print
Northern moon snail — American Marine Conchology, Plate 10
This fine art print reproduces Plate 10 from George W. Tryon's American Marine Conchology, published in 1873. The hand-colored composition depicts Lunatia heros 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 New England 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.

“Beautiful! The print exceeded my expectations. I had it framed locally, and the framer commented on the high quality of the paper. Well packaged to prevent damage. Will shop with this vendor again.”
“We bought the American flamingo framed print. I absolutely love it! Justin was super helpful with the shipping-we live in Hong Kong and these things and I was worried the glass etc may be damaged in shipping-but it arrived in perfect condition. Very happy customer, can highly recommend.”
