World Record Lobster - (may be hung vertically or horizontally) by deep sea artist Flick Ford
World Record Lobster by artist Flick Ford, available from Prickly Pear Galleries.
Three sizes to reflect your appetite.
When Europeans first arrived in the New World, lobsters were so plentiful that a minor storm could deposit two feet tall piles of the crustacean along the shoreline. They were so abundant and easy to harvest that they were known as “the poor man’s chicken.” Flick Ford brings us, in all its Technicolor glory, the world record lobster that was caught in 1977 off Nova Scotia, Canada, weighing in at 44 pounds, 6 ounces, measuring nearly four feet long. If it takes five to seven years for a lobster to reach the weight of one pound, we can only wonder how old this world record lobster was.
We don’t often get the chance to see just how beautiful these creatures are when emerging fresh from the trap. Perfect for the beach house or kitchen, you can order your lobster in one of three sizes: 1 1/2 lbs (paper), 4 lbs (canvas) or one of the (15) world record 44 lb behemoths (canvas). Each print or canvas may be framed vertically or horizontally.
Canvases released April 2010.
