“I contacted Paolo to see if she had a map of a certain coastal area that wasn't currently available on her site. She responded within a few hours and located the print by the next day. I received the map a few days after shipping. I couldn't be happier with the quality of the print or the service. She was an absolute pleasure to deal with!!!”

The Story Behind the Print
A digitally colored interpretation of The Barn-Door Skate, Plate 246, 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.
The skate is shown from below, upright with its full outline and long tail intact. 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.

“The print is beautiful and exactly what I expected. The customer service was OUTSTANDING. The seller went above and beyond to make sure I got my item in time for Christmas and even sent out a new one next day shipped because the first one wasn’t moving along fast enough through the postal service. Definitely recommend this seller and will be purchasing more from this shop in the future. Thank you!”
“I love this map! It came in perfect condition and it is beautiful! We had to get a custom frame which can get pricey, especially for the size we chose 48 × 36 but it looks great and filled our large wall perfectly! Great find!”
