Seal and Sturgeon of the Caspian
Materials
Fine Art Prints
Premium archival matte fine art paper, 200–230 gsm. Smooth, bright white surface with an instant-dry coating that resists fingerprints and smudging. Printed with archival inks for accurate color and high-contrast reproduction. FSC-certified sustainable paper.
Framed Prints
Solid wood frame, roughly 0.875″ wide, available in light, black, or white. Protected by shatterproof optical-grade acrylic — lighter and safer than glass, and it ships without risk of breakage. Dry-mounted to foam core with a kraft paper dust cover and hanging wire installed, ready to hang out of the box.
Production
Every piece is made to order. Nothing sits in a warehouse — your print is produced after you order it, at the facility closest to your address. That means it reaches you faster, travels less distance, and arrives with a smaller carbon footprint than something shipped from a single central location.
The Caspian in two registers. Above, the Alborz standing in cloud with Hyrcanian forest running down to the shore and flamingos crossing the frame. Below, a Caspian seal hauled out on the rocks and a beluga sturgeon coming clear of the water.
The Caspian is the largest inland body of water on earth, and biologically it behaves like nowhere else — a landlocked sea with its own seal, found in no other water, and sturgeon whose lineage predates most fish alive today. Both animals in this poster are in trouble: the Caspian seal is endangered, and the beluga, the fish behind the caviar, critically so.
