19th Century Lepidoptera: An Illustrated Compendium of Moths and Butterflies
Located in Langweer, NL
An antique hand-colored engraving. This particular illustration focuses on various moth and butterfly species, showcasing their wing patterns and body shapes in vibrant colors and with a high level of detail.
The different specimens are numbered and named at the bottom, likely corresponding to their scientific names, which are partially legible and written in French. These include various types of moths and butterflies with distinct markings, such as eye-like spots on their wings, which are often used in nature as a form of mimicry or to ward off predators.
The artistic style is consistent with scientific illustrations of the 19th century, aimed at providing an accurate representation of the insects for study and reference. The paper shows signs of aging, indicating the historical value of the print. This type of illustration would have been a vital educational tool at the time, combining scientific interest with an appreciation for the beauty of these creatures. The illustrator has captured both the structural and aesthetic qualities of the insects, which would have been important for both scientific taxonomy and for those with a general interest in natural history.
The image appears to be a caption section from an antique hand-colored engraving, listing the names of various moth and butterfly species. The names are in French and are likely to correspond to the illustrations of the specimens on the main engraving. Here's the list of the species with a description based on the names provided:
1. **SÉSIE freloniforme**: This is likely a species of clearwing moth, which mimics the appearance of a hornet or wasp (hence "freloniforme", resembling a hornet). Clearwing moths are known for their transparent wings and mimicry for defense against predators.
2. **PROCRIS du Statice**: This could refer to a species of moth or butterfly associated with sea-lavender plants...

19th-Century Detailed Hand-Coloured Lithograph of a Large Medieval Siege Tower
Located in Langweer, NL
19th-Century Hand-Coloured Lithograph of a Large Medieval Siege Tower with Details
Description: This finely executed hand-coloured lithograph presents a massive 'medieval siege tower', complete with structural details and mechanisms used during large-scale sieges. Taken from the 1842 publication 'Der Rittersaal: Eine Geschichte des Ritterthums', this work by Friedrich Martin von Reibisch and Dr. Franz Kottenkamp highlights the engineering ingenuity of siege warfare during the Middle Ages.
The central focus of the illustration is the monumental siege tower, meticulously depicted with wooden reinforcements, a sloped base, and numerous small windows for archers and infantry. Wheels at the foundation highlight the mobility of this immense structure, while a wooden floor plan in the top right corner provides an aerial view of its grid-based layout. Additionally, the inset diagrams on the left showcase key mechanical components, including pulley systems and structural beams used to assemble or operate the tower effectively.
In the foreground, two smaller siege devices are displayed, likely for additional artillery or defensive support. The rolling landscape, complete with castles and distant hills, adds a scenic backdrop that complements the detailed technical rendering.
Condition: This lithograph remains in very good condition, with well-preserved hand-colouring and sharp, clear lines. Minor age-toning and light foxing add to the print’s antique charm without diminishing its visual impact.
Ideal for collectors of military history, medieval warfare, or engineering art...

Jeune Fille Arabe in Traditional Attire from Wahlen's 1844 Lithographs
Located in Langweer, NL
Title: "Jeune Fille Arabe in Traditional Attire from Wahlen's 1844 Lithographs"
Description:
This hand-colored lithograph, titled *Jeune Fille Arabe* (Young Arab Girl), is from the Asia volume of Auguste Wahlen’s "Moeurs, Usages et Costumes de tous les Peuples de Monde" (Customs, Manners, and Dress of All the Peoples of the World), published in 1844.
The print was created by an anonymous engraver after Wahlen’s work, with artists like Evrard Duverger, L. Markaert, and R. King contributing to the collection.
Enhanced with Arabic gum on vellum paper, the lithograph offers a striking representation of an Arabian woman in traditional attire, including a striped dress, animal-print shawl, and ornate jewelry.
Cultural and Artistic Insight:
The subject's attire reflects a blend of practical clothing and decorative elements, such as the striped fabric and the leopard-patterned wrap. Her jewelry, including bracelets and a headpiece, highlights her status or cultural identity. The presence of a background with tropical trees and village buildings suggests that this scene might depict a coastal or rural area, where both traditional and more exotic elements are incorporated into daily life.
Attractiveness:
The vivid hand-coloring, along with the detailed rendering of fabric patterns and accessories, makes this print particularly appealing. The glossy finish provided by the Arabic gum adds depth to the colors, giving the illustration a luminous quality. The juxtaposition of traditional Arabian dress...

Elegant 1844 Lithograph of a High-Class Indian Woman in Traditional Saree
Located in Langweer, NL
This handcoloured lithograph titled "Jeune fille indoue de la haute classe" depicts a young high-class Indian woman adorned in traditional attire.
The print is part of Auguste Wahlen's "Moeurs, Usages et Costumes de tous les Peuples de Monde," published in 1844.
This lithograph utilizes handcolouring techniques to enhance the vividness and detail of the traditional Indian saree, which is characterized by its bright pink and green hues and intricate draping style.
The saree, a timeless symbol of Indian femininity, is elegantly wrapped, showcasing the elaborate textile craftsmanship of India. The woman's jewelry, including bangles and necklaces, reflects the cultural importance of adornments in Indian society, often indicating social status and personal wealth.
This print is captivating due to its rich depiction of cultural attire and the graceful demeanor of the woman, which together illustrate the refined aesthetic and social codes of India's upper class during the 19th century. The lithograph not only serves as a beautiful piece of art but also as an important cultural document that provides insights into the traditional attire and societal norms of historical India.
