A special limited edition fine art print that brings to life to one of the most beloved plates from Sebastian Münster's 'Cosmographia Universalis' (1559): monsters of the land and sea!
This playful scene has been meticulously reproduced as a relief print from a scan of the original work, evoking the woodblock technique used by Münster. Individually hand-printed on a vintage press by master printmaker Kristina Chan at Plaintiff Press, every copy is unique.
In homage to the topic of the print and Münster's heritage, this work is printed in a shimmering silver graphite ink on BFK Rives Grey 280gsm paper.
Limited edition of 50. 36.5 x 29 cm.
Individually numbered and embossed, accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity and a description of the monsters in the work.

This work looks stunning in its original form but also with colour - just as old maps and atlases were produced in both monochrome or hand-coloured editions. Metallic pencils work beautifully - bring yours to life by layering up the pigment!
This limited edition fine art print attracts VAT for UK customers, this will be added at checkout. Fine art prints that are being shipped outside of the UK will not incur UK VAT but you may be required to pay import tax and duty.
