The Story Behind the Print

A digitally colored interpretation of The Bluefish; The Cobia or Crab-Eater, Plate 174, 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.

Bluefish and cobia share one sheet, making a natural pair for a coastal gallery wall. 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.

“Justin and Paola were so easy to communicate with - they even expedited shipping for this order at no additional charge when they heard that it was meant to be a birthday gift! I was so lucky to find their shop, since I was looking for a really specific print. It also arrived in perfect condition. Highly recommend their business!”
“I can’t say enough about this seller! My prints arrived within days of ordering and were in fantastic condition! The quality of the prints are perfect, thick with rich colors that pictures online can’t do justice. The seller is also quick to respond to any of your questions. I’m so pleased with how they turned out!”
“I ordered two prints from Paola and it was a pleasure working with her. She went above and beyond by actually tracking down prints for me that she didn't have listed on the site at the time. The prints arrived in pristine condition, were exactly as shown in the photos and great quality. Would recommend to everyone.”
