Framed Antique Shark Chromolithograph – Rare Original Marine Print

Sink your teeth into this rare original 19th-century chromolithograph—a striking plate from a marine biology text featuring detailed illustrations of four shark species, including the iconic thresher shark with its dramatic tail fin. Printed in vivid chromolithographic color, this plate captures the precision and artistry of early scientific illustration.

Professionally mounted behind glass in a bold merlot mat and custom rustic wood frame, the piece balances antique academic style with coastal cabin vibes. Whether you’re a shark lover, natural history collector, or just someone who appreciates a print with bite—this one’s got real presence.
