The skull in A Side View in Florida is based on a scientific illustration from Gray's Anatomy. Filling the sheet with its sheer size and color, the skull seems about to burst out of the frame. In the first state, published by Niels Borch Jensen in Copenhagen, the plate was printed in black on white paper. In this second iteration, published by GraphicStudio at the University of South Florida, Dine deepened the marks and added strident colors.
