Wall Lizards – Antique Reptile Natural History Print by P.J. Smit, 1895 This attractive antique natural history print depicts several Wall Lizards (*Podarcis muralis*) basking and climbing among rocky outcrops and vegetation. Illustrated with remarkable attention to detail, the composition captures the lively behavior of these agile reptiles as they navigate their natural habitat, creating a scene that is both scientifically informative and visually appealing. The Wall Lizard is one of Europe's most familiar reptiles, known for its speed, adaptability, and ability to thrive on stone walls, rocky slopes, ruins, and garden landscapes. In this illustration, the lizards are shown in a variety of characteristic poses, allowing the viewer to appreciate their slender bodies, elongated tails, intricate scale patterns, and subtle green coloration. The artist carefully records both the anatomy and behavior of the species, reflecting the scientific standards of nineteenth-century zoological illustration. Created by the noted natural history illustrator P. J. Smit, the print belongs to the golden age of Victorian scientific publishing. During this period, publishers sought to document the world's fauna through beautifully executed color lithographs that combined educational value with artistic merit. Rather than presenting isolated specimens, many illustrations placed animals within their natural surroundings, creating engaging scenes that remain highly decorative today. The soft palette of greens, ochres, and warm earth tones gives the print a calm, natural character. The rocky habitat and delicate vegetation provide an attractive backdrop while emphasizing the reptiles' camouflage and adaptation to their environment. Today, antique reptile prints...

English Moths on Hawthorn Branch – Early 18th-Century Hand-Colored Print Published in London in 1720, this hand-colored copper engraving forms part of Eleazar Albin’s A Natural History of English Insects, a cornerstone work of early British entomology. The plate depicts moths, caterpillars, and pupae arranged around a hawthorn branch, illustrating the insect life cycle in direct relation to its host plant. The plate is dedicated “To Mrs. Mary Goupy,” reflecting the network of subscribers and private patrons who supported the publication of natural history works in Georgian England. Such dedications were customary and provide insight into the social and cultural context in which Albin’s work was produced. The insects shown are moths and larvae commonly associated with hedgerow habitats, representing early observations of species now largely classified among the geometrid moths. The plant depicted is hawthorn (*Crataegus*), a key species in the English countryside. The soft green palette, balanced composition, and careful hand coloring give the engraving both scientific clarity and strong decorative appeal. An original 18th-century engraving with original hand coloring. Condition Light to moderate age-related toning. Minor edge wear consistent with original binding. Colors remain clear and well preserved. Framing tips Dark walnut or ebonized frames with ivory mats enhance the antique character. For contemporary interiors, light oak with museum-white matting is recommended. UV glazing advised. Sold unframed.

English Moths on Rowan & Hawthorn – Hand-Colored Insect Engraving, Albin 1720 This hand-colored copper engraving was published in London in 1720 as part of A Natural History of English Insects by Eleazar Albin, one of the foundational works of British entomology. The plate illustrates moths and caterpillars shown in different stages of development, arranged in direct relation to their host plants. Albin’s approach of documenting insects alongside their food sources was highly innovative and places this work among the earliest systematic studies of English insects. The engraving is dedicated “To the Honorable Edward Southwell Esq.” Edward Southwell was a British politician and landowner, best known for his role as Principal Secretary of State for Ireland. His inclusion reflects the patronage networks that supported early natural history publishing in Georgian England. The host plants depicted are rowan (Sorbus) and hawthorn (Crataegus), both rendered with botanical clarity. The insects shown are moths and their larvae associated with hedgerow and woodland environments. While Albin’s nomenclature predates modern taxonomy, the plate likely represents early observations of geometrid and noctuid moths, groups commonly associated with these plants. The balanced layout, soft green foliage, and warm, muted tones give the engraving a strong decorative quality, making it particularly suitable for framing in interior settings. As issued, the print retains its original hand coloring, applied under Albin’s supervision, giving the surface a subtle depth and period character. This is an original 18th-century engraving, not a later reproduction. Condition: Light to moderate, even age-related toning consistent with early 18th-century paper. Minor edge wear from original binding. Original hand coloring remains clear and well preserved. Framing tips: This engraving frames beautifully in dark walnut or ebonized wood with a generous ivory or soft cream mat, enhancing the warmth of the aged paper. For a lighter, contemporary interior, a pale oak or natural wood frame with a museum-white mat works particularly well. UV-protective glazing is recommended to preserve the original hand coloring. The print is sold unframed, allowing full flexibility for custom presentation.
