Zoology Print of Starfish, Sea Urchins and Sea Cucumbers by T Bromme c1865
Located in Langweer, NL
Zoology Print of Starfish, Sea Urchins and Sea Cucumbers by T Bromme c1865 This detailed hand-colored lithograph was published around 1865 by German geographer and scientific educator Traugott Bromme. Taken from his educational compendium *Illustrirter Hand-Atlas der Erde und der Menschheit*, this plate presents a captivating array of echinoderms, including starfish, sea urchins, brittle stars, feather stars, and sea cucumbers—marine invertebrates known for their radial symmetry and varied textures. At the center of the plate is a large sea cucumber (1), shown in profile with fine detail in its tube feet and body texture. Prominently featured are multiple starfish species (7, 8, 9), including both classic five-armed and more elaborate forms like a sunstar (12). Also included are brittle stars (10, 11), distinguishable by their slender, flexible arms. A variety of sea urchins (4, 5, 6, 17) are represented in both their natural forms and skeletal structures. The plate also includes feather stars or crinoids (3), whose delicate, feathered arms evoke the movement of aquatic flora. Additional forms such as the sea lily and other early echinoderms further illustrate the evolutionary range of this phylum. Each species is numbered and arranged with clear spacing and balance, rendered with lithographic precision and enhanced through delicate hand coloring. These prints offered 19th-century audiences both education and aesthetic pleasure, combining scientific observation with artistic presentation. This particular sheet is ideal for collectors of marine natural history, antique scientific illustration...

Antique Chromolithograph of Marine Life with Coral, Fish and Sea Creatures, 1890
Located in Langweer, NL
Antique Chromolithograph of Marine Life with Coral, Fish, and Sea Creatures, ca. 1890 This engaging and finely detailed chromolithograph, titled “Das Leben im Meere” (Life in the Sea), dates to around 1890 and illustrates a vibrant array of marine animals in their underwater habitat. Rendered in striking full color, this educational plate combines artistic beauty with scientific accuracy, representative of late 19th-century natural history imagery used in schools, encyclopedias, and popular science publications. The composition features an impressive diversity of sea creatures and plant life, carefully labeled with corresponding letters. In the foreground, prominent figures include a large green lobster (g. Hummer), a sea turtle (a. Meer­schild­kröte), and a large crab (e. Großer Taschenkrebs), all shown in highly naturalistic detail. Surrounding them are other fascinating marine organisms such as a squid (h. Tintenfisch), starfish (k. Seesterne), shrimp (f. Garneele), sea urchins (i. Seeigel), sea anemones (m. Seeanemonen), jellyfish (l. Schirmquallen), and colorful coral (n. Edelkoralle). Also depicted are a seahorse (d. Seepferdchen), a flatfish or sole (b. Goldbutte), and a herring (c. Hering), among others. Beyond the foreground, the underwater world fades into an atmospheric gradient, with swaying sea plants, drifting jellyfish, and distant ships visible at the water’s surface. The overall composition is both decorative and informative, capturing the sense of wonder and discovery associated with marine biology during the 19th century—a period of growing interest in the natural sciences. Such prints were prized not only for their educational value but also as art objects. Today, this image appeals to collectors of antique scientific illustrations...

1871 Botanical Prints of Paeonia and Butomus from Tunbridge Wells Flora
Located in Langweer, NL
1871 Botanical Prints of Paeonia and Butomus from Tunbridge Wells Flora Offered here is a striking pair of original 19th-century botanical prints from The Flowering Plants of Tunbridge Wells and Neighbourhood by Richard Deakin, published in 1871 by Stidolph & Bellamy and Groombridge & Sons, London. These finely detailed plates depict Paeonia corallina (Coral Peony) and Butomus umbellatus (Flowering Rush), two elegant flowering species native to parts of Europe and found in the Tunbridge Wells region of England. Rendered with scientific precision and colored by hand, these prints reflect the Victorian era’s passion for botany, natural classification, and the visual arts. Each flower is represented in its full structural form, with careful attention to botanical accuracy, showing stems, leaves, blossoms, and reproductive parts where applicable. The *Paeonia corallina* features deep crimson petals and vibrant green foliage, while the *Butomus umbellatus* is notable for its light pink clustered blooms atop tall, sinuous stems—its root and bulb details meticulously illustrated alongside. These prints exemplify the dual nature of botanical works of the 19th century: simultaneously scientific documents and refined decorative art. These plates come from one of the more specialized and regionally focused British botanical publications of the period, making them relatively rare in the market. Their historic link to the Tunbridge Wells flora gives them additional geographic and academic interest. Condition Report: Good condition overall. Hand-coloring remains vivid and precise. The paper shows only minor, even toning, appropriate for its age. No significant foxing or tears. Species names are present and clearly legible. Framing Suggestions: For the best visual impact and preservation, these prints should be framed in matching frames with archival mats and UV-protective glass. A neutral mount (ivory or pale grey) will complement the organic colors while enhancing their Victorian charm. Ideal for hallways, libraries, studies, or conservatories, especially in botanical or period-themed interiors. Keywords: Victorian botanical prints...

Antique Hand-Colored Fern Prints - Aspidium Species - 19th Century Botanical Art
Located in Langweer, NL
Antique Hand-Colored Fern Prints - Aspidium Species - 19th Century Botanical Art This rare set of three hand-colored fern prints features detailed illustrations of various species of **Aspidium**. These botanical prints are part of the renowned 19th-century collection, *Ferns: British and Exotic*, showcasing the meticulous botanical artistry of the Victorian period. The ferns illustrated in this set include: - **Aspidium augustescens** (Majestic Shield Fern): This species is known for its symmetrical fronds and graceful appearance. The print showcases the fine detailing of the fern’s structure, capturing the natural elegance of its leaves. - **Aspidium acuminatum** (Pointed Shield Fern): This species is noted for its sharply pointed fronds and dense arrangement of sori (spore clusters). The print emphasizes the intricate texture of the fronds and the distinct shape of the reproductive structures. - **Aspidium proliferum** (Proliferous Shield Fern): This fern is characterized by its broad fronds and ability to produce multiple offshoots. The illustration captures the density and lush growth habit of the species, with precise attention to the arrangement of the spore clusters. These prints come from E.J. Lowe’s famous botanical work, *Ferns: British and Exotic*, which was published between 1856 and 1860. Edward Joseph Lowe was a distinguished Victorian botanist known for his extensive research and beautifully illustrated publications on ferns. His work remains highly regarded for its scientific accuracy and aesthetic quality. The prints were produced using the chromolithography technique, a popular 19th-century printing method that allowed for vibrant, multi-layered color reproduction. This process adds depth and dimension to the prints, creating lifelike images that make these ferns appear almost tangible. Each print measures approximately 12 x 8 inches, making them perfect for framing. Whether you are a botanical art collector, a nature lover, or someone who appreciates vintage prints, this set offers both historical significance and decorative appeal. Condition Report: Overall good condition with light age-related toning around the edges. The colors remain vibrant, and the images are clear and sharp. Keywords: antique fern prints...

Antique and Vintage Prints for Wall Decor

Prints are works of art produced in multiple editions. Though several copies of a specific artwork can exist, collectors consider antique and vintage prints originals when they have been manually created by the artist or are “impressions” that are part of the artist’s intent for the work.

Modern artists use a range of printmaking techniques to produce different types of prints such as relief, intaglio and planographic. Relief prints are created by cutting away a printing surface to leave only a design. Ink or paint is applied to the raised parts of the surface, and it is used to stamp or press the design onto paper or another surface. Relief prints include woodcuts, linocuts and engravings.

Intaglio prints are the opposite of relief prints in that they are incised into the printing surface. The artist cuts the design into a block, plate or other material and then coats it with ink before wiping off the surface and transferring the design to paper through tremendous pressure. Intaglio prints have plate marks showing the impression of the original block or plate as it was pressed onto the paper.

Artists create planographic prints by drawing a design on a stone or metal plate using a grease crayon. The plate is washed with water, then ink is spread over the plate and it adheres to the grease markings. The image is then stamped on paper to make prints.

All of these printmaking methods have an intricate process, although each can usually transfer only one color of ink. Artists use separate plates or blocks for multiple colors, and together these create one finished work of art.

Find prints ranging from the 18th- and 19th-century bird illustrations by J.C. Sepp to mid-century modern prints, as well as numerous other antique and vintage prints at 1stDibs. Browse the collection today and read about how to arrange wall art in your space.
