A broad Bordeaux-red seaweed, nature-printed from a real specimen in the 1850s and reproduced as a framed print ready to hang.
About the original
In 1859 and 1860 William Grosart Johnstone and Alexander Croall published The Nature-Printed British Sea-Weeds. Its plates were made by Henry Bradbury's nature-printing process: real seaweed specimens were pressed into soft metal to make the printing plates, so every frond and fibre was captured true to life. The result looks almost like a pressed specimen on the page. We've reproduced the full plate, original lettering included, on a soft cream mount.
