This wonderful Sea Maiden with Sea Master art print and story are from a collection of Sea Maidens (mermaids), Sea Babies (mermaid babies), Sea Masters (merman), pirates, lighthouses and fairies created by renowned artist and novelist Robert Kline of St. Augustine, Florida.  The print is a lithograph reproduction of Robert's original watercolor and pencil painting. Hand labeled and signed by Robert in pencil, all the prints come with a 1/4" foam backing and the 5" x 7", 8" x 10", 11" x 14" are matted so all you need is a frame and they are ready to hang on your wall! Each print also comes with an excerpt from Robert’s novel The Forgotten Voyage of H.M.S. Baci. A fantastic saga in which multiple generations of the Roberts’ family explore the seven seas in search of the world’s mermaid and merman population. Thus, you receive the passage from Robert's novel describing the particular event in which the character(s) in the print were sighted. The following is a hint of what was written for this print:

Off the coast of New Zealand, Sir Edmund Roberts made a most unexpected discovery whilst subaquatic in Halley’s patented diving apparatus with his wife, the beautiful Captain Constance Daphne Fitzwillie and his companion, the ever-conversant Gnarly Dan. First a Sea Maiden slowly drifted into view in the arms of a Sea Master. The Sea Maiden was with child, her hair white as snow (Sea Maidens losing all hair coloration during gestation), the two apparently quite content as they embraced.

Gnarly Dan whispered, “Ain’t she precious as gold dust an’ more special than yer doubloon!” He smiled and went on, “They’d be no gift as capital as a young ‘un what a man an’ his mate can share. Some say it ain’t a true union ‘til they has offspring. I says it’d be a sure enough battle ‘til a youngster’d be joinin’ the fray.”

Constance Daphne idly rubbed her own tummy and smiled. Meanwhile, Sir Edmund pondered the Sea Maiden’s condition and thought first of his ancestral home, of its fields and the moors and forests of his youth and then of the joy he’d been denied these many years. A child. A little Sir Edmund” that he might lift to his own chest. A little baby. A tiny heart. A tiny mind. A future he might guide. His legacy. For the first time in the naturist long and full life his staggering wealth could have real purpose. He could provide a child! There could be a future beyond his own existence. That which he sot though fame and discovery could come instead from love and sharing and creating.

The Sea Maiden before him, a swim in the waters of the world and oblivious to the dance of civilization ashore, carried her child with a resolve as ancient as the world itself. Sir Edmund watched and longed for such a thing to enter his life. He looked secretly to his love, Constance Daphne Fitzwillie, only to discover she was watching him---studying him. He could not know that she was full of a new mothers trepidations regarding the depth of her husband’s heart. Her child’s father. This man before her, cloistered in the cramped, odorous diving bell was her chosen partner; but what was the depth of his heart? Was there strength yet unplumbed? Resolve sufficient to provide and nurture? Or had she been fooled? She did not know.

The two observed one another as Gnarly Dan kept his nose pressed to the steamed glass. At last, Sir Edmund noticed his wife’s hand full upon her stomach and gently circling. He looked to her eyes.

All was quiet in the bell. Moments passed. And then----

“Yes” she mouthed silently.

“Yes?” the naturalist answered, his brows raised.

“It is so,” she whispered and smiled.

His journal reads:

The coast of New Zealand! It has offered up a wondrous secret and a sea couple; she pregnant.

Maidenous blissfulness. “Nancy” Long hair. Content. Very pregnant.

Magnus blissfulness. Handsome. Attentive.

Resolution Island. November2, 1835.
