A fine poppy-red seaweed from one of the most beautiful natural-history books ever published in Britain, reproduced as a framed print ready to hang.

About the original

Between 1846 and 1851 the Irish botanist William Henry Harvey published Phycologia Britannica, a survey of every seaweed then known around the British coast. Its 360 hand-coloured plates were drawn from specimens collected on the shore, and they're still prized for their delicate detail and colour. We've reproduced the full plate, including its original lettering and plate number, on a soft cream mount so it looks as it did on the page.

Made for your wall

  • Printed on heavyweight 200gsm matte paper with a smooth, non-reflective finish
  • Solid pine frame in white, natural wood or black
  • Shatterproof acrylic front, so it's safe for kitchens, bathrooms and children's rooms
  • Arrives ready to hang, with the hanging kit included
  • Two sizes: 30 × 40 cm and 45 × 60 cm

Each print is made to order for you. It's a lovely gift for anyone who loves the sea, rock-pooling or botanical art, and it looks well hung as a pair or a set of three.
