“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!”

The Story Behind the Print
Zirphaea crispata — American Marine Conchology, Plate 16
A digitally reconstructed edition of Plate 16 from George W. Tryon’s American Marine Conchology (1873), featuring Zirphaea crispata 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.
