Condition summary:
Good condition for its age, with slight overall 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.
Framing tips:
Frame this entomological print in a black, dark wood, or walnut frame with a cream or off-white mount to enhance its intricate engraving details and bright natural colours. For a traditional setting, a gold frame adds antique warmth and sophistication. UV-protective glass is recommended to preserve colours and prevent further toning. This antique natural history print will enrich any insect art collection, educational interior, or gallery wall with timeless scientific beauty and decorative charm.
