Watchful Harbour Seals Foam Backed Print
Watchful Harbour Seals Foam Backed Prints.
Enjoy a premium photographic print with three paper options, each designed to suit different lighting conditions and artistic preferences:
- Lustre Photographic - A semi-matt finish with a subtle, speckled sheen that reduces glare, making it perfect for well-lit spaces or rooms with direct sunlight.
- Gloss Photographic - A bold, high-gloss finish that enhances depth and contrast, ideal for striking imagery that stands out.
- Fine Art Matt – A luxurious 308gsm Hahnemühle paper with a smooth, ultra-matte surface and rich colour depth, offering a refined, three-dimensional look.
Each print is mounted onto black, 3mm Foamex - an ultra-durable, moisture-resistant PVC substrate that remains lightweight yet rigid. Perfect for displaying on an easel or mounting with the included Velcro strips, without the need for framing.
Supplied without a border unless otherwise specified.
Optional lamination is available in satin or gloss to match your selected paper, providing extra protection against moisture and handling. However, lamination is not recommended for Fine Art Matt paper, as it will obscure its authentic texture.
The use of acid-free papers and archival inks ensures that your print will last a lifetime without fading or loss of color.
Harbour seals, also known as common seals, are the smaller of the UK’s two seal species, though their name can be misleading - they’re not as common as you might think. In fact, current estimates give their numbers at 55,000 - a third of the number of grey seals around Britain’s shores.
These charming creatures spend much of their time lounging on beaches, rocks, and sandbanks, but they’re also strong swimmers, often seen gliding through coastal waters. Each harbour seal has a unique pattern of spots on its coat, making it possible to tell individuals apart.
In British folklore, they were believed to be selkies - mythical creatures that could transform into humans. Today, their curious and playful nature makes them a much-loved symbol of coastal wildlife.
This pair of harbour seals, both gazing to the left, look right at home amongst the seaweed on the shoreline. Their calm, focused expressions capture the relaxed vibe of the seaside as they take in the world around them. Whether they’re resting after a swim or simply enjoying the salty air, these seals remind us to pause and savour life’s simple moments.
Bring this peaceful duo into your home with wall art, or brighten someone's day with a greeting card or coffee mug featuring these laid-back seals!
