About the Item
Antique Handcolored Engraving of Seals and Amphibious Creatures, c.1800
This original handcolored copperplate engraving depicts a variety of seals and other amphibious creatures, showcasing their unique anatomy and behaviors. The plate originates from Friedrich Johann Bertuch’s *Bilderbuch für Kinder* (Picture Book for Children), an iconic 12-volume educational work published between 1790 and 1830.
Illustrated with meticulous detail and vibrant colors, this engraving features seals in different poses and settings, emphasizing their adaptability to aquatic and terrestrial environments. Bertuch’s work was a hallmark of 19th-century scientific and artistic endeavors, designed to educate and inspire curiosity about natural history.
This rare piece would make an excellent addition to a collection of zoological art, antique engravings, or historical marine life illustrations.
