Jonstonus Friesian and Hungarian Horses Engraving, 1650 Description: Original antique copper engraving depicting two European horse breeds: the Friesian horse (“Equus Frisicus – Frisisch Pferd”) and the Pannonian or Hungarian horse (“Equus Pannonicus sive Hungaric – Hungarisches Pferd”). The upper composition shows the powerful Friesian horse standing in profile, distinguished by its heavy build, long flowing mane and feathered legs. Below, the Hungarian horse is represented in a dramatic rearing pose, creating a particularly lively and decorative equestrian composition. The engraving was published in Joannes Jonstonus’ important Historiae naturalis de quadrupetibus, Frankfurt am Main, 1650. The work was issued by the heirs of Matthäus Merian and forms part of Jonstonus’ celebrated multi-volume natural history of animals. Joannes Jonstonus (1603–1675), also known as John Johnston or Jan Jonston, was a Polish-born physician, naturalist and scholar. His extensive natural-history publications were among the important illustrated zoological works of the 17th century, preceding the systematic classification of Linnaeus by more than a century. From the first edition of Historiae naturalis de quadrupetibus, published in Frankfurt by the Merian publishing house in 1650. Plate II, titled within the engraving: “Equus Frisicus – Frisisch Pferd” “Equus Pannonicus sive Hungaric – Hungarisches Pferd” A beautiful early representation of the Friesian horse and an appealing decorative work for an equestrian, country-house or natural-history collection.

Original vintage TWA Holy Land 1960s travel advertising poster featuring a wonderful design by American artist David Klein. We adore Klein's typically stylised and colourful design of a dove carrying an olive branch in its beak is approaching Noah's great wooden ark floating on the flood waters. Trans World Airlines (TWA) was a major airline in the United States that operated from 1930 until it was acquired by American Airlines in 2001. It was formed as Transcontinental & Western Air to operate a route from New York City to Los Angeles, soon followed by multiple National routes. Howard Hughes acquired control of TWA in 1939, and after World War II led the expansion of the airline to serve Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, making TWA a second unofficial flag carrier of the United States after Pan Am. David Klein (1918 – 2005) was an American artist, best known for his influential work in advertising. Although he produced illustrations for Broadway theatrical productions, Hollywood films, the United States Army, and numerous corporate clients, Klein is best remembered for the iconic travel images he created for Howard Hughes and Trans World Airlines (TWA). Between approximately 1955–1965, Klein designed numerous award-winning travel advertisement posters, the bulk for TWA, many of which are now considered emblematic of the 1960s Jet Age. In 1957 New York's Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) added Klein's iconic TWA Times Square...

Title: Set of Three Hand-Colored Equestrian Engravings, circa 1727 Description: A decorative set of three antique hand-colored equestrian engravings showing riders on horseback in classical 18th-century manège poses. The plates are titled Le Courageux, Le Loyal, and L’Esperance, each depicting a finely dressed rider guiding a horse with elegance and control. These prints are from the celebrated equestrian tradition associated with Friedrich Wilhelm Baron d’Eisenberg’s Description du Manège Moderne, published in the early 18th century. The work is known for its refined depictions of classical horsemanship, riding-school movements, and noble equestrian presentation. The hand coloring adds warmth and decorative appeal, with rich tones in the riders’ coats, saddlery, and horses. The prints have an attractive aged surface and strong period character, making them especially suitable for an equestrian interior, library, study, country house, tack room, club room, or classic gallery wall.

Diana of the Ephesians Antique Engraving, Montfaucon Antiquité Expliquée 1721 This original early eighteenth-century copper engraving depicts the famed Diana of the Ephesians (Artemis of Ephesus), one of the most recognizable and symbolically rich cult images of the ancient world. The plate originates from Bernard de Montfaucon’s monumental antiquarian publication *L’Antiquité expliquée et représentée en figures*, published in Paris in 1721, a foundational scholarly work that systematically documented classical antiquities and helped establish archaeology as an academic discipline. Montfaucon’s encyclopedic project sought to gather visual knowledge of ancient civilizations through carefully engraved illustrations based on surviving sculptures, coins, manuscripts, and earlier collections. This engraving presents the Ephesian Artemis in her distinctive archaic form: a rigid frontal figure crowned with a mural headdress, arms extended, and a body covered with symbolic registers. The multiple rounded forms across the torso—traditionally interpreted as fertility attributes—reflect the goddess’s role as a universal mother and protector of nature. Bands of animals, mythological creatures, and sacred motifs reinforce her association with cosmic order, fertility, and the natural world. Unlike the athletic huntress Artemis familiar from Greek sculpture, the Ephesian Diana represents an older Anatolian cult tradition absorbed into Greco-Roman religion. The engraving therefore documents not only a sculpture but also Enlightenment-era attempts to understand ancient religious symbolism through comparative study. Montfaucon’s precise linework and balanced composition exemplify the refined craftsmanship of Parisian copperplate engraving during the early 18th century, combining scholarly accuracy with strong decorative appeal. Today, engravings from L’Antiquité expliquée are highly regarded by collectors of classical antiquity, archaeology, and early academic illustration. The graphic symmetry and sculptural clarity make this image particularly suitable for interiors ranging from traditional libraries to contemporary gallery walls. This original antique engraving is offered unframed, allowing flexibility to select a frame that best suits the intended interior. Condition: Good antique condition with age-related toning and light discoloration to the paper, consistent with early eighteenth-century prints. Minor edge wear and handling marks confined mainly to the margins. Plate impression visible. Blank verso. Framing tips: A dark walnut or ebonized frame with a wide ivory mat enhances the classical presence of the figure. For a modern interior, a slim black frame with generous mat spacing creates a museum-quality presentation emphasizing the engraving’s symmetry.

Original Antique Print of an Atlas Moth by Bertuch, circa 1800 Original antique hand-colored copper engraving depicting the magnificent Atlas moth (Attacus atlas), one of the largest and most spectacular moths in the world. The plate is titled “Insecten XXVIII / Insectes XXVIII” and originates from Friedrich Justin Bertuch’s celebrated “Bilderbuch für Kinder,” published in Weimar around 1800. The enormous moth is shown with its wings fully extended across a flowering branch. Its richly patterned wings are beautifully rendered in shades of rust, ochre, cream, black and pink, with the characteristic translucent, window-like markings prominently displayed. The combination of the dramatically oversized insect and delicate botanical background makes this one of the more visually striking natural-history subjects in Bertuch’s series. The Atlas moth is native to the tropical forests of South and Southeast Asia and is renowned for its extraordinary wingspan. Its distinctive wing tips have often been noted for their resemblance to the head of a snake, possibly serving as a defensive adaptation against predators. The engraving bears the inscription “Jacob H. Schmuzer” at lower right. Friedrich Justin Bertuch (1747–1822) was a German publisher, writer and patron of the arts. His monumental “Bilderbuch für Kinder” (Picture Book for Children) was one of the great illustrated educational encyclopedias of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Published in Weimar from 1790 onward, the work contained hundreds of finely engraved and hand-colored plates devoted to natural history, geography, science, technology, costumes and mythology. A particularly decorative and impressive antique natural-history print, well suited to collectors of butterflies and moths, entomology and early scientific illustration. Creator: Friedrich Justin Bertuch (1747–1822) Engraver: Jacob H. Schmuzer Source: Bilderbuch für Kinder Plate: Insecten XXVIII / Insectes XXVIII Place of Publication: Weimar, Germany Date of Manufacture: Circa 1800 Period: Early 19th Century Style: Neoclassical – In the Period of Medium: Original hand-colored copper engraving on paper Condition: Good.
