    Each print in our Collections has been individually inspected under natural light, its paper, plate impression and colours evaluated, and its subject identified with care. Every work is catalogued and photographed according to the Prantique Curatorial Method, ensuring that what you see here is not a random assortment of images, but a considered selection of original antique prints from the great age of natural history publishing. No modern reproductions are ever included.
