About the Item
Antique Handcolored Engraving of Seals and Amphibious Mammals, c.1800
This original handcolored copperplate engraving illustrates various seals and amphibious mammals in their natural environments. The print comes from Friedrich Johann Bertuch’s *Bilderbuch für Kinder* (Picture Book for Children), a renowned 12-volume natural history encyclopedia published between 1790 and 1830. Bertuch’s work blended scientific accuracy with artistic elegance, making it a cornerstone of 19th-century educational publishing.
The engraving showcases four distinct figures, each displaying the characteristics and behaviors of different seal species, including their streamlined bodies adapted for aquatic and terrestrial habitats. Vivid hand coloring and detailed rendering highlight the natural textures and unique markings of these marine creatures.
This piece is ideal for collectors of marine zoology prints, antique engravings, or educational art from the 19th century. It also makes a striking addition to any natural history collection or interior display.
