Squid poster, after an 1842 engraving by the American naturalist James Ellsworth De Kay. Dimensions: 30 X 42 cm. Frame not included. High-quality, thick paper, 160 gsm. Shipped securely in a rigid package. This superb poster accurately depicts a squid with supple tentacles, delicately colored in shades of red and pink. The design highlights the organic beauty of this marine animal, a symbol of coastal life and the shores of the Atlantic.
