Antique Chromolithograph of Marine Life with Coral, Fish and Sea Creatures, 1890
Located in Langweer, NL
Antique Chromolithograph of Marine Life with Coral, Fish, and Sea Creatures, ca. 1890
This engaging and finely detailed chromolithograph, titled “Das Leben im Meere” (Life in the Sea), dates to around 1890 and illustrates a vibrant array of marine animals in their underwater habitat. Rendered in striking full color, this educational plate combines artistic beauty with scientific accuracy, representative of late 19th-century natural history imagery used in schools, encyclopedias, and popular science publications.
The composition features an impressive diversity of sea creatures and plant life, carefully labeled with corresponding letters. In the foreground, prominent figures include a large green lobster (g. Hummer), a sea turtle (a. Meerschildkröte), and a large crab (e. Großer Taschenkrebs), all shown in highly naturalistic detail. Surrounding them are other fascinating marine organisms such as a squid (h. Tintenfisch), starfish (k. Seesterne), shrimp (f. Garneele), sea urchins (i. Seeigel), sea anemones (m. Seeanemonen), jellyfish (l. Schirmquallen), and colorful coral (n. Edelkoralle). Also depicted are a seahorse (d. Seepferdchen), a flatfish or sole (b. Goldbutte), and a herring (c. Hering), among others.
Beyond the foreground, the underwater world fades into an atmospheric gradient, with swaying sea plants, drifting jellyfish, and distant ships visible at the water’s surface. The overall composition is both decorative and informative, capturing the sense of wonder and discovery associated with marine biology during the 19th century—a period of growing interest in the natural sciences.
Such prints were prized not only for their educational value but also as art objects. Today, this image appeals to collectors of antique scientific illustrations...

1871 Botanical Prints of Paeonia and Butomus from Tunbridge Wells Flora
Located in Langweer, NL
1871 Botanical Prints of Paeonia and Butomus from Tunbridge Wells Flora
Offered here is a striking pair of original 19th-century botanical prints from The Flowering Plants of Tunbridge Wells and Neighbourhood by Richard Deakin, published in 1871 by Stidolph & Bellamy and Groombridge & Sons, London. These finely detailed plates depict Paeonia corallina (Coral Peony) and Butomus umbellatus (Flowering Rush), two elegant flowering species native to parts of Europe and found in the Tunbridge Wells region of England.
Rendered with scientific precision and colored by hand, these prints reflect the Victorian era’s passion for botany, natural classification, and the visual arts. Each flower is represented in its full structural form, with careful attention to botanical accuracy, showing stems, leaves, blossoms, and reproductive parts where applicable.
The *Paeonia corallina* features deep crimson petals and vibrant green foliage, while the *Butomus umbellatus* is notable for its light pink clustered blooms atop tall, sinuous stems—its root and bulb details meticulously illustrated alongside. These prints exemplify the dual nature of botanical works of the 19th century: simultaneously scientific documents and refined decorative art.
These plates come from one of the more specialized and regionally focused British botanical publications of the period, making them relatively rare in the market. Their historic link to the Tunbridge Wells flora gives them additional geographic and academic interest.
Condition Report:
Good condition overall. Hand-coloring remains vivid and precise. The paper shows only minor, even toning, appropriate for its age. No significant foxing or tears. Species names are present and clearly legible.
Framing Suggestions:
For the best visual impact and preservation, these prints should be framed in matching frames with archival mats and UV-protective glass. A neutral mount (ivory or pale grey) will complement the organic colors while enhancing their Victorian charm. Ideal for hallways, libraries, studies, or conservatories, especially in botanical or period-themed interiors.
