Crustaceans & Marine Invertebrates Print: Crab, Lobster, Horseshoe Crab - 1867
Located in Langweer, NL
Crustaceans & Marine Invertebrates Print: Crab, Lobster, Horseshoe Crab – Antique 1867
This detailed antique print depicts a diverse range of crustaceans and marine invertebrates, including crabs, lobsters, shrimps, barnacles, copepods, and the horseshoe crab, rendered in fine hand-coloured engravings. It originates from the Atlas der Natuurlijke Geschiedenis voor scholen en huisgezinnen, adapted into Dutch by T.C. Winkler after Traugott Bromme, and published in Amsterdam by J.C. Loman in 1867. Designed for educational use, this plate introduced 19th-century students to marine biology and invertebrate diversity.
The labelled figures include:
1. Shore crab (Carcinus maenas)
2. Blue crab (Callinectes sapidus)
3. Spider crab (Maja squinado)
4. Red rock crab (Cancer productus)
5. Fiddler crab (Uca species)
6. Mosaic crab (Lophozozymus pictor)
7. Porcelain crab (Porcellanidae species)
8. Lobster (Homarus gammarus)
9. Branchiopod (Branchiopoda species)
10. Mantis shrimp (Stomatopoda species)
11. Krill (Euphausiacea species)
12. Barnacle larva (Cirripedia species)
12a. Nauplius stage
12b. Cypris stage
13. Amphipod (Amphipoda species)
14. Isopod (Isopoda species)
15. Water flea (Daphnia species)
16. Cyclops copepod (Cyclopoida species)
16a. Adult copepod
16b. Egg stage
17. Horseshoe crab (Limulus polyphemus)
18. Fairy shrimp (Anostraca species)
19. Copepod (Copepoda species)
20. Ostracod (Ostracoda species)
21. Harpacticoid copepod (Harpacticoida species)
22. Barnacle cypris larva
Produced using copper engraving with meticulous hand colouring, the print shows fine anatomical lines and vibrant detailing, highlighting each species' structure, limb arrangement, and carapace shape. Each invertebrate is illustrated systematically for easy comparative study, reflecting 19th-century natural history educational standards before photographic field guides were available.
Condition summary:
Good condition for its age, with slight toning and minor scattered foxing mainly in the margins. The paper remains strong with no tears or repairs, and the hand colouring is vivid and well-preserved.

Zoology Print of Swordfish, Tuna, Anglerfish and Exotic Fishes by T Bromme c1865
Located in Langweer, NL
Zoology Print of Swordfish, Tuna, Anglerfish and Exotic Fishes by T Bromme c1865
This highly detailed hand-colored lithograph was published circa 1865 by German geographer and scientific illustrator Traugott Bromme. It is part of his ambitious natural history series *Illustrirter Hand-Atlas der Erde und der Menschheit*, combining zoological knowledge with elegant visual presentation for 19th-century educational use.
This particular plate highlights a variety of marine and deep-sea fish, focusing on distinct anatomical adaptations. Dominating the top of the composition is a powerful swordfish (14) with its extended bill, flanked by a streamlined tuna (15), herring (13), and mackerel-like species (12). Below them is an extraordinary anglerfish (4), shown with its characteristic lure and wide, flattened head—typical of deep-sea species.
Also included are armored or scaleless fish like the fangtooth (3), dragonfish (1), and several unusual tropical or reef species with prominent spines or patterning. A garfish or needlefish (20) stretches across the bottom, opposite a striped wrasse or perch (5). Other species include the European sea bass (7), gobies and blennies (8, 9, 10), a butterflyfish (16), and a few primitive or armored species with bony plates (19).
The composition reflects Bromme’s emphasis on both scientific accuracy and visual curiosity, with each fish labeled and arranged to showcase size, structure, and behavior. These images were essential in a pre-photographic age for understanding marine biodiversity and taxonomy.
This is a compelling example of antique scientific illustration...

1862 Chromolithograph of Cana – Biblical Landscape in Southern Lebanon
Located in Langweer, NL
Title: 19th-Century Chromolithograph of Cana – Biblical Landscape After David Roberts
Description: This striking 19th-century chromolithograph presents a breathtaking view of Cana, the site traditionally associated with Jesus' first miracle—the transformation of water into wine at a wedding feast. The print originates from the 1862 publication *De Middelaar God en der Menschen - Tafereelen uit Jezus' Leven en Werk op Aarde* by J.J.L. Ten Kate, published by Gebroeders Kraay in Amsterdam. The composition is based on an original plate by the esteemed British artist David Roberts (1796–1864), whose highly detailed and atmospheric depictions of the Holy Land remain among the most celebrated travel illustrations of the 19th century.
The scene captures a dramatic and expansive view of the rolling hills and fertile valleys surrounding Cana, bathed in the warm glow of the setting sun. The interplay of light and shadow enhances the landscape’s depth, creating a peaceful yet awe-inspiring atmosphere. In the foreground, a small group of figures rests near a stone well, symbolizing the region’s historical connection to water and its biblical significance. To the right, a caravan of travelers on horseback winds its way down a rugged path, emphasizing the area's continued role as a crossroads of pilgrimage and trade. In the distance, the smoke rising from the village adds a human presence to the otherwise untouched landscape.
The chromolithographic process used in this print allows for exceptional tonal variation and soft gradations of color, making it a fine example of 19th-century craftsmanship. This piece is particularly appealing to collectors of biblical art, historical views of the Holy Land, and 19th-century travel prints...

Study for decorative panel
Pencil and watercolor on paper mounted on paperboard
Measures: 62.5 x 74 x 5 cm (with frame)
50.5 x 62 (without the frame)
Signed in the circle lower right
Born near Glasgow in Scotland, Walter Shirlaw settled with his family in New York in 1841, when he was two or three years old. As a young boy, he took night classes at the National Academy of Design, and first exhibited his work there in 1861. The first years of his career were spent as an engraver at the American Bank-Note Company, while at the same time attempting to establish himself as a painter.
He later moved to Chicago, where he continued to work as an banknote engraver and also taught art at the Chicago Academy of Design. In 1870, at the relatively late age of thirty-two, Shirlaw travelled to Europe to study. Prevented from settling in Paris by the Franco-Prussian War, he instead studied in Munich, where he joined the small group of American painters working in the city, including Frank Duveneck and William Merrit Chase...

Anthropology and Skull Comparison Print by T Bromme, 1865 Ethnographic Atlas
Located in Langweer, NL
Anthropology and Skull Comparison Print by T Bromme, 1865 Ethnographic Atlas
This original 19th-century hand-colored lithograph comes from one of the ethnographic atlases compiled by German geographer and publisher Traugott Bromme, most likely from his Illustrirter Hand-Atlas der Erde und der Menschheit, published around 1865. It is a striking example of how physical anthropology and ethnography were visually represented in the mid-1800s.
The plate features a carefully arranged sequence of numbered portraits and skull studies, combining human figures from various continents with anatomical illustrations. The individuals are depicted in regional costume and positioned alongside skull diagrams, suggesting comparative analysis of cranial structure. The layout reflects the period’s fascination with human classification, framed by theories of physiognomy and early racial science, many of which are now thoroughly discredited. At the top of the image is a European figure, and at the bottom, the sequence moves toward stylized or even caricatured faces and ape skulls, underlining the problematic ideologies that shaped these works.
Traugott Bromme’s ethnographic atlases were widely used in educational institutions across Europe and are now valued both as visual documents and as historical records of 19th-century thinking. This print exemplifies the high-quality lithographic techniques of the time, including precise linework and finely applied color. It offers a fascinating and revealing perspective on how science, illustration, and colonial-era worldviews intersected in printed media.
This is a valuable item for collectors of antique scientific prints...
