    Within these collections you will find botanical illustrations, sea creatures & marine life plates, ornithology studies, and entomological works. Originally created to document the natural world before photography, these engravings now stand where art, science and heritage meet.

    Our Collections include works by celebrated artists such as Redouté, Bessa, Blackwell, Prêtre, Turpin, Green, Haeckel and others who helped define the visual language of natural history. Their hand-coloured plates and finely worked engravings retain the depth, precision and quiet beauty with which they were first conceived.
