Nictago Jalapa (Marvel of Peru) – Hand-Colored Botanical Engraving by Desmares, circa 1825
Description:
An original hand-colored copperplate engraving of the flowering plant Nictago Jalapa, commonly known today as Mirabilis jalapa or Marvel of Peru. This elegant botanical illustration features large, vibrant leaves and trumpet-shaped blossoms in striking yellow, red, and variegated tones.

Known for its scientific accuracy and exquisite hand-coloring, the series was a landmark in early 19th-century botanical publishing.
This print exemplifies the refinement of French Enlightenment-era botanical art and is ideal for collectors of antique florals, natural history prints, or early scientific illustration.

Witte Corneliszoon de With Aboard Ship – 19th-Century Hand-Colored Lithograph
This 19th-century hand-colored lithograph portrays Witte Corneliszoon de With, a bold and controversial Dutch admiral who served during the Eighty Years' War and the First Anglo-Dutch War. Born in 1599 in Hoogendijk, De With was known for his strict discipline, outspoken character, and bravery in numerous sea battles. He was both a rival and sometime ally of other great Dutch naval commanders such as Maarten Tromp and Michiel de Ruyter.
The portrait shows De With seated confidently aboard a warship, with a cannon positioned beside him and rigging sketched in the background. He wears an ornate sash and medallion across his armor, signaling his high rank and distinguished service. A sword rests at his side, and his hat lies nearby, completing the composition of a commanding yet composed figure in the theater of naval warfare.
This lithograph was drawn by Herman ten Kate and printed by P W van de Weijer in Utrecht around 1850. The image is lithographed and finished with hand coloring, lending the print subtle texture and depth.
The condition is good, with minimal aging, rich tones, and sharp details throughout.
Framing suggestion:
This historic naval portrait pairs well with a dark wood frame and muted archival matting in navy or grey. Use UV-protective glass to preserve the color and paper quality.

The print shows Evertsen on the deck of a warship, fully clad in richly detailed armor. He holds a command baton and rests one hand confidently on his sword. A large cannon looms behind him, along with nautical equipment and the curve of the ship’s structure, grounding the portrait in a powerful naval context. His determined expression and posture reflect his leadership and courage at sea.
Drawn by Herman ten Kate and printed by P W van de Weijer in Utrecht, the lithograph features strong lines, hand-applied color, and an elegant composition that highlights the valor and historical significance of this Dutch naval hero.

Item Description:
This 19th-century hand-colored lithograph features Laurens Reael, a distinguished figure in the early history of the Dutch East India Company (VOC).

A humanist and scholar as well as a statesman, Reael was known for his moderate stance and legal-minded approach to colonial administration, which often brought him into conflict with more aggressive VOC policies.
In this scene, Reael is seated at a table, holding a document, with another official at his side. A map is partially visible on the wall behind them, suggesting a moment of planning or correspondence related to naval or colonial matters. His elaborate lace collar and thoughtful expression reflect his cultured personality and leadership role.

Created by Wilhelm von Wright, Thorman, Malm, and C. Erdmann, and published by P. A. Norstedt & Söners Förlag in Stockholm, this print is a testament to the scientific accuracy and artistic mastery that define this iconic natural history series.
At the top left, the Spotted Dragonet (Callionymus maculatus) displays its graceful and elaborate fins, adorned with striking yellow and black patterns that resemble a delicate tapestry. The intricate detailing of the pectoral and dorsal fins showcases Wright’s dedication to both beauty and precision. Known for its colorful display and unique shape, the Spotted Dragonet inhabits sandy or muddy bottoms in shallow coastal waters.
To the right, a group of Montagu’s Suckers (Cyclogaster montagui) are depicted, notable for their small size and rounded bodies with subtle mottled patterns. These bottom-dwelling fish use their ventral sucker to adhere to rocks and submerged objects, making them well-suited for life in intertidal zones and shallow waters. The soft shading and earthy tones give them a lifelike appearance, emphasizing their adaptability to the rugged coastal environment.
The larger fish depicted with bold markings are Liparis (Cyclopteridae), with their stout, rounded bodies and vivid dark patterns. These fish are known for their unique suction disc, which allows them to cling to stones and rocky surfaces. The contrast between their dark, mottled bodies and bright orange highlights on the fins reflects their distinctive appearance.
At the bottom of the plate lies the majestic Thicklip Grey Mullet (Mugil chelo), depicted with a silvery sheen and streamlined body that signifies its fast, agile swimming nature. The fine scaling and reflective quality of its body are captured with remarkable realism, emphasizing the mullet’s sleek and powerful presence. Often found in coastal estuaries and shallow bays, the Thicklip Grey Mullet is valued for both its athletic form and its role as a popular food fish...

Scandinavian Asp and Bleak - Exquisite 19th-Century Lithograph, 1895
This stunning lithograph from 'Skandinaviens Fiskar' beautifully illustrates three freshwater fish species native to Scandinavia: the Asp (Aspius rapax) and the Bleak (Alburnus lucidus). Created by the talented artist Wilhelm von Wright and published by P. A. Norstedt & Söners Förlag in Stockholm, this plate masterfully combines scientific precision with artistic elegance.
The uppermost fish is the Bleak (Alburnus lucidus), characterized by its slender, streamlined body and shimmering silver scales. Known for its agile swimming and vibrant appearance, the Bleak is commonly found in rivers and lakes throughout northern Europe.
The central and lower fish are the Asp (Aspius rapax), displaying a more robust, muscular build with a distinct silvery-gray hue. The artist's meticulous attention to detail highlights the Asp's powerful fins and sleek body, showcasing its predatory nature. Asp are known for their speed and strength, often inhabiting fast-flowing waters and open lakes.
This hand-colored lithograph reflects the masterful craftsmanship of von Wright, who captured the essence of these Scandinavian fish with remarkable accuracy and aesthetic appeal. The subtle hand coloring brings the illustration to life, emphasizing the fish's natural hues and delicate textures.
Condition: The print remains in very good condition, with vibrant colors and sharp detailing. It would make a striking addition to any collection of natural history art or as a unique decorative piece in a study or living space.
Framing tips: Choose a wooden or metal frame in neutral tones like natural wood, black, or dark brown. Use a light cream or off-white mat, about 2-4 inches wide, and ensure it is acid-free for preservation. Opt for UV-protective, non-reflective glass or acrylic. Use acid-free backing boards and hinge mounting to secure the print without damage. Keep the frame sealed...
