    Birds & Zoology – Antique Prints from the Natural World

    The Birds & Zoology collection celebrates the beauty, diversity and elegance of the animal world as seen through the eyes of naturalists, explorers and scientific illustrators of the past.

    From the soaring precision of 19th-century bird illustrations to rare portrayals of mammals in early zoological studies, each print offers a window into how knowledge was recorded and shared – with grace and accuracy.

    This category includes original hand-colored engravings and lithographs drawn from major ornithological and zoological works folios of the Enlightenment.

    Ideal for collectors, natural history lovers, or those seeking distinguished pieces of interior decor rooted in scientific legacy.

  • Entomology Butterflies

    The Entomology & Butterflies collection captures the fascination with insects and their delicate transformations, as portrayed in the golden age of natural history.

    These original antique prints document the life cycles of butterflies, moths, beetles and other insects in astonishing detail – often shown alongside their host plants, in a visual symphony of science and art.

    From Enlightenment-era metamorphosis studies like Jacob L’Admiral’s 1774 engravings, to 19th-century entomological masterpieces, this category is a tribute to observation, precision, and beauty in the smallest of living forms.

    For collectors, entomology enthusiasts, or those seeking elegant and meaningful wall art, these works offer timeless visual and intellectual appeal.
