Mythical Creatures: Kraken (Norway) By Derek Anderson, Joel Anderson, 2004

The kraken beast struck fear into the hearts of sailors for centuries. A legendary sea monster said to be larger than even the greatest sailing vessels, the kraken was believed to be some type of cephalopod, similar to a giant squid. In fact, it is believed that the legend of the kraken may have originated from sightings of giant squid (which may grow 40–50 feet in length). The earliest preserved writings depicting the kraken originated with Francesco Negri in 1700. His description was followed in 1734 by an account from the Danish and Norwegian missionary and explorer Hans Egede, who described the kraken in detail. Inspired by these old legends and myths (some of which date back to the dawn of civilization), Anderson Design Group poster artists hand-rendered a vintage-styled poster of the mysterious kraken legend, an original illustration and retro design crafted in a fashion that’s reminiscent of the golden age of poster art, vintage art, Art Deco, and classic travel illustrations. This iconic monster design is available as a poster print (framed or unframed), canvas, metal sign, mini-canvas, or as a notecard or postcard, including with multiple size options available for prints, canvases, mini-canvases, and metal signs.
