Sparrows Amidst Blackberry Bushes - Vintage Giacomelli Ornithological Print
Located in Langweer, NL
Charming Sparrows Amidst Blackberry Bushes - Vintage Giacomelli Ornithological Print, circa 1891.
This exquisite print, titled "Les Mûres" (The Blackberries), showcases the delicate beauty of nature through the eyes of renowned French artist Hector Giacomelli. The artwork captures a serene moment in the underbrush, where two sparrows perch gently among lush green leaves and ripe blackberries. The intricate detailing of the birds and the surrounding foliage reflects Giacomelli's mastery in depicting avian life and natural settings.
Hector Giacomelli (1822–1904), a celebrated French watercolorist, engraver, and illustrator, was best known for his vivid and lifelike paintings of birds. His works, often inspired by the natural world around him, have been highly regarded for their detail, color, and emotional depth.
This print is a Farbdruck (color print), a technique involving the use of multiple colors to produce a richly detailed image. Likely created using chromolithography—a popular method at the time—this print brings out the vibrant greens of the leaves and the deep reds and purples of the blackberries with striking clarity and realism.
The print dates to 1891, part of a series by Giacomelli that focused on birds and their natural habitats. Measuring approximately 32 by 23.5 cm, the print features wide white margins, which, though slightly browned and stained with age, serve to frame the artwork beautifully.
The print was likely published in France, where Giacomelli lived and worked, and where his art was widely appreciated.
As with many of Giacomelli's prints from this era, this artwork was likely produced in a limited edition, making it a prized piece for collectors of ornithological art. The exact number of prints made is unknown, but given its age and condition, it would be a valued item in any collection.
The print shows typical signs of aging, with some browning and slight staining on the margins. However, the central image remains vivid, capturing the viewer's attention with its lifelike portrayal of sparrows amidst the blackberry bushes.
This print, like others in the series, exemplifies Giacomelli's dedication to capturing the beauty of nature, making it a wonderful addition to any collection of vintage art...

Shows a female figure with tall Pompador hair do, seated, looking over her left shoulder, dressed in a loose white chemise. Giltwood frame with raised foliate detail; mottled gray mat.

By PRINET René François Xavier (1861-1946)
René François Xavier Prinet (1861-1946)
Manon, 1898
"René François Xavier Prinet (31 December 1861, Vitry-le-François – 26 January 1946, Bourbonne-les-Bains) was a French painter and illustrator who drew his subjects from middle-class society. He was born to Henri Prinet, an Imperial Prosecutor in Vitry-le-François. A promotion led to him being posted in Paris, where they lived in a home not far from the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts. His father painted as a hobby and was supportive of his desire to study art, having him seek the advice of Louis Charles Timbal [fr], a well-known church painter and friend of the family.
Around 1880, he began his studies in earnest, in the studios of Jean-Léon Gérôme; remaining with him until 1885. That year, his painting "The Infant Jesus" was accepted for display at the Salon. This was followed by studies at the Académie Julian. At this time, he also became associated with a group of young artists known as the Bande Noire (Black Stripe), which included Lucien Simon, André Dauchez...

Victorian Era British Lepidoptera: A Hand-Colored Legacy, 1890
Located in Langweer, NL
The butterflies depicted in the plates are special, both historically in the context of British lepidopterology and scientifically in terms of their morphology and behavior.
1. **Arran Brown (Erebia ligea)** - The image labeled "22" likely depicts what is commonly known as the Arran Brown, previously known as Arran Argus. It's a species that prefers grassy habitats and flies low to the ground. These butterflies have brown wings with eye-like spots on the upper side, which can confuse predators into attacking the wrong part of the body.
2. **Scotch Argus (Erebia aethiops)** - The image labeled "23" seems to represent the Scotch Argus. This butterfly has dark brown wings with orange bands containing black spots, each centered with a tiny white dot. It is commonly found in damp grassy areas and is especially interesting due to its limited distribution, being primarily found in Scotland and parts of Northern England.
3. **Small Ringlet (Erebia cothurnatus)** - The image labeled "24" probably shows the Small Ringlet, which in some texts may be referred to as Small Mountain Ringlet or Small Heath...
