Seguir leyendoThe Spanish Mackerel, Scomberomorus maculatus (1898) by John L. Petrie is a luminous Victorian zoological illustration created at the height of America’s natural history boom. Produced for The Fishes of North America under editor and author William C. Harris, Petrie’s plate was developed from living specimens so that the fish’s iridescence, speckling, and anatomy could be recorded before their colors dulled. Printed in richly layered chromolithography, this work unites scientific precision with an elegant, almost lifelike presence—an enduring testament to the era’s zeal for cataloguing the natural world.
Offered exclusively by The Unique Maps Co., this museum-quality fine art print is available on acid-free archival paper or on artist’s cotton canvas. Choose from a range of sizes to suit your space, and add optional framing for a ready-to-hang finish. We’re pleased to personalize your edition with custom captions, dedication lines, or subtle design adjustments—perfect for creating a one-of-a-kind piece that reflects your taste and interior.
About the artist: John L. Petrie was a late-19th-century American scientific illustrator celebrated for translating living fish into faithful, color-rich images. Working closely with Harris, Petrie helped set a standard for accuracy in ichthyological depiction, balancing crisp draftsmanship with an acute sensitivity to sheen, scale pattern, and form. His contributions to chromolithographic natural history plates remain admired for their union of clarity and beauty.
About the subject: Spanish mackerel (Scomberomorus maculatus) are swift, migratory fish native to the western Atlantic and Gulf coasts, prized by anglers and important to coastal culture. In 1898, when fisheries science and sport angling were both gaining momentum, images like this served a dual role—documenting species with scholarly care while celebrating the vitality of local wildlife. Petrie’s plate reflects that spirit, capturing the fish in a poised, streamlined profile that highlights the elegant efficiency of its form.
Color, style, and why you’ll love it: The palette leans into verdant greens and soft beige tones, with luminous yellow notes along the lateral line and vivid orange touches in the fins. Gentle, blended washes suggest a serene aquatic backdrop, allowing the fish’s speckled flanks and pearly belly to gleam. The realism is quietly spectacular: layered color suggests iridescent scales; clean contours convey motion; and the restrained setting keeps attention on the figure itself. It’s a versatile statement for coastal interiors, modern studies, kitchens with sea-green accents, and any space that embraces natural textures and calm, organic color.
This timeless print makes a thoughtful gift for anglers, marine-life enthusiasts, and lovers of American natural history. It’s perfect for Christmas, Father’s Day or Mother’s Day, a coastal home housewarming, or welcoming back someone who has just returned from the Atlantic or Gulf shores.
If you're not sure what size to order, or you're looking for a custom order of some kind – a different size, a different colour, a special frame – then please contact me. I usually respond within a few minutes.
You can see an example of my fine art personalisation service in the fifth image. Zoom in and take a look. My personalised artwork is always very well received. Take a look at more examples of personalisation.
You can also choose to age your art print to make it look older. This is popular amongst my customers who want their artwork to look like an older, antique print. You can see an example of ageing in the sixth product image, or go ahead and check out lots of examples of other aged artwork.
The model in the listing images is holding the 36x20in (90x50cm) version of this art print.
I can print and frame this beautiful piece of art at sizes up to 3 metres (10ft). If you are looking for a size or framing option that isn't available online, please get in touch.
This artwork is available as a giclée print on acid free archival matte paper, or you can buy it framed. My standard frames come in six colours (black, dark brown, dark grey, antique gold, oak and white), and custom framing is available for an additional charge. My frames are glazed with super-clear museum-grade acrylic (perspex/acrylite), which is significantly less reflective than glass, safer, and will always arrive in perfect condition.
This artwork is also available as a float framed canvas, sometimes known as a shadow gap framed canvas or canvas floater. The work is printed on artist's cotton canvas and then stretched over a handmade box frame. We then "float" the canvas inside a wooden frame, which is available in a range of colours (black, dark brown, oak, antique gold and white). This is a wonderful way to present an art print without glazing in front. See some examples of float framed canvas art and explore the differences between my different finishes.

Mi marco estándar es un marco de madera de fresno negro estilo galería. Es simple y tiene un aspecto bastante moderno. Mi marco estándar tiene alrededor de 20 mm (0.8 in) de ancho.
Utilizo acrílico super claro (perspex/acrylite) para el vidrio del marco. Es más ligero y seguro que el vidrio, y se ve mejor, ya que la reflectividad es menor.
Seis colores de marco estándar están disponibles de forma gratuita (negro, marrón oscuro, gris oscuro, roble, blanco y oro antiguo).El enmarcado y montaje/matizado personalizado está disponible si buscas algo diferente.
La mayoría de los mapas, arte e ilustraciones también están disponibles como un lienzo enmarcado. Utilizamos lienzo de algodón mate (no brillante), lo estiramos sobre un marco de madera de caja de origen sostenible, y luego 'flotamos' la pieza dentro de un marco de madera. El resultado final es bastante hermoso, y no hay cristal que se interponga.
Todos los marcos se proporcionan "listos para colgar", con una cuerda o soportes en la parte posterior. Los marcos muy grandes tendrán placas de colgar de alta resistencia y/o un listón de montaje. Si tienes alguna pregunta, por favor ponte en contacto.
Mira algunos ejemplos de mis mapas enmarcados y mapas en lienzo enmarcados.
Alternativamente, también puedo proporcionar mapas antiguos y obras de arte en lienzo, tablero de espuma, papel de algodón y otros materiales.
Si deseas enmarcar tu mapa o obra de arte tú mismo, por favor lee mi guía de tamaños primero.
