Antique Print with Hand Coloring of a Siberian Lynx
Located in Langweer, NL
An original hand-coloured antique print featuring a Siberian lynx, which is a subspecies of the Eurasian lynx. This print, titled 'The Lynx of Siberia', would have been part of a work published by G.B. Whittaker and based on an illustration by Charles Hamilton Smith, around 1825.
Charles Hamilton Smith was a versatile figure of his time, not just an illustrator and naturalist, but also a scholar with a keen interest in various subjects including ethnology and military science.

The publisher G.B. Whittaker was known for producing works of natural history, and his collaboration with Charles Hamilton Smith resulted in a number of beautifully illustrated prints that were not only scientifically valuable but also works of art.

Antique and Vintage Prints for Wall Decor
Prints are works of art produced in multiple editions. Though several copies of a specific artwork can exist, collectors consider antique and vintage prints originals when they have been manually created by the artist or are “impressions” that are part of the artist’s intent for the work.
Modern artists use a range of printmaking techniques to produce different types of prints such as relief, intaglio and planographic. Relief prints are created by cutting away a printing surface to leave only a design. Ink or paint is applied to the raised parts of the surface, and it is used to stamp or press the design onto paper or another surface. Relief prints include woodcuts, linocuts and engravings.
Intaglio prints are the opposite of relief prints in that they are incised into the printing surface. The artist cuts the design into a block, plate or other material and then coats it with ink before wiping off the surface and transferring the design to paper through tremendous pressure. Intaglio prints have plate marks showing the impression of the original block or plate as it was pressed onto the paper.
Artists create planographic prints by drawing a design on a stone or metal plate using a grease crayon. The plate is washed with water, then ink is spread over the plate and it adheres to the grease markings. The image is then stamped on paper to make prints.
All of these printmaking methods have an intricate process, although each can usually transfer only one color of ink. Artists use separate plates or blocks for multiple colors, and together these create one finished work of art.
Find prints ranging from the 18th- and 19th-century bird illustrations by J.C. Sepp to mid-century modern prints, as well as numerous other antique and vintage prints at 1stDibs. Browse the collection today and read about how to arrange wall art in your space.
