Pagure Cuirassier Print with Tangerine & Burgundy Seaside Stripe Frame 9x7in
Pagure Cuirassier (1824–1844)
This detailed natural history illustration of the armored hermit crab is a high-quality digitally enhanced reproduction from Voyage autour du monde, authored by Louis Claude Desaulses de Freycinet and published in Paris between 1824 and 1844. Originating from a French royal scientific expedition around the world, the artwork reflects early 19th-century exploration, featuring contributions by several illustrators and engravers. The collection showcases diverse botanical and zoological subjects documented during the voyages of the corvettes Uranie and Physicienne.
Each frame design is meticulously hand-painted and printed onto pure cotton, wrapping the frame’s exterior in artisanal charm. This handcrafted process ensures every frame is uniquely yours, with subtle variations adding to its character. Designed for versatility, all frames come with fittings for both wall mounting and standing. Additionally, the mount and glass panel are removable.
Outer Frame Size: 9x7 inches, with a Mount Aperture of 5x3.5 inches
All prints are printed on the highest quality 270gsm archival paper, ensuring exceptional durability and clarity. This premium paper preserves the vibrant details of the artwork, offering long-lasting quality.
