“I ordered two framed maps from Archive Print and they are GORGEOUS!! The frames and simple and elegant! The order arrived faster than I expected and were packaged well. I've hung the beautiful maps over my piano and they have really helped my room look pulled together.”

The Story Behind the Print
A digitally colored interpretation of The Mackerel; The Chub Mackerel or 'Thimble-Eye', Plate 91, from the U.S. Fish Commission's 1884 fisheries plate volume. The color is a modern treatment of the historical drawing, with the original linework, caption, and plate number retained.
Two mackerel form a lively paired composition with blue backs and silver flanks. The complete composition is presented on a balanced landscape sheet.
Offered in 8 × 6, 12 × 9, and 16 × 12 inch paper sizes. Choose Print Only or a ready-to-hang Satin Black, Slimwood Silver, or Slimwood Gold frame, without a mat. Sizes refer to the paper; the frame adds to the overall dimensions.
Colors may vary slightly between screens and the finished print.
About the Frame
Framed pieces are built to order in solid wood with clear acrylic glazing, dry-mounted artwork, a kraft paper dust cover, and hanging wire. Each piece arrives ready to hang. No mat. Satin Black has a 7/8-inch face and adds 1.25 inches to the total width and height. Slimwood Silver and Slimwood Gold have a 1 1/8-inch face and add 1.75 inches to the total width and height.
The selected size refers to the artwork itself. Framed orders are custom made and ship within 7 to 10 business days, free in the U.S. See our shipping and return policies for framed piece details.

“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!”
