The Story Behind the Print
Siliqua costata — American Marine Conchology, Plate 18
A digitally reconstructed edition of Plate 18 from George W. Tryon’s American Marine Conchology (1873), featuring Siliqua costata 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.

Customer notes
From our collectors
“Purchased as a gift for my husband's birthday and it was exactly what he wanted. The print and frame were very well made and arrived quickly. There was great attention to detail in the packaging to ensure it arrived safely. Justin was friendly and professional. I would highly recommend this seller!!!”
“Since the website didn't have an image of the print when framed, I was skeptical that it would be done the way I had envisioned. Purchase arrived quickly, was packaged very carefully, was framed beautifully. EXACTLY what I had hoped for!”
