The Story Behind the Print
Atlantic surfclam — American Marine Conchology, Plate 23
This fine art print reproduces Plate 23 from George W. Tryon's American Marine Conchology, published in 1873. The hand-colored composition depicts Mactra solidissima 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.
