This is, by far, the most comprehensive and complete poster on seashells ever published. Magnificent illustrations accurately portray 140 specimens, all accompanied by captions citing common name, biological name, size and where they are found. There are over 100,000 mollusks, so extensive research went into selecting the species to be shown. They include representatives from all major biological groups. Special care was taken to show the most common shells - the ones often found on American beaches - and those widely available in shell and souvenir shops. Often the only difference between species is color and the design pattern. Thus this poster is also very helpful in identifying species that are not shown. This is a truly beautiful poster that makes a handsome addition to any decor. It also provides an easy way for the novice collector to quickly identify the results of his beachcombing.

Customers have been universally impressed with the quality, beauty and detail of these posters. Pictures do not do them justice! This is a new type of poster that we call content intensive posters. Each provides a comprehensive overview of the subject presented through extraordinary images and fact-filled text. They are designed to appeal to people who enjoy reading books, watching informative and/or educational shows on cable television and subscribing to such magazines as "National Geographic", "Smithsonian" and "Scientific American". They have great educational value and are cherished by teachers, students and professionals.

All posters are printed on very heavy, high-quality paper. It is also a very hard paper that preserves tiny details. Posters are then specially coated to provide a satin finish that reduces glare and enhances their presentation. These are the same high standards used to produce expensive art prints. Artists are selected on the basis of their illustration skills and their knowledge of the subect. Many have both art and science degrees. This ensures an accurate presentation of the subject.

This poster is laminated and, therefore, requires no frame. All posters measure 24" x 36". This standard size fits inexpensive, off the shelf frames if you wish to frame this poster.
