Romantic 19th Century Engraving – Pyrenean Peasants Couple with Dog, c.1840
Description:
This is a beautifully detailed 19th-century steel engraving titled Pyrenean Peasants (Landvolk aus den Pyrenäen), depicting a young couple seated closely together on a rocky hillside in the Pyrenees mountains, accompanied by their loyal dog resting at their feet. The shepherd is shown with a crook, wearing traditional regional attire including a broad-brimmed hat, waistcoat, and loose shirt, while the woman sits gracefully beside him with her head gently leaning against his shoulder, her hair covered with a long shawl, evoking a tender and serene rural moment.
Engraved by H. Adlard after an original painting by an unknown continental artist, this print was published by A.H. Payne, Dresden & Leipzig, around 1840–1850, as part of a series of ethnographic and romantic European genre scenes aimed at a middle-class audience seeking elegant imagery for drawing rooms and libraries. The fine crosshatching, delicate tonal gradations, and atmospheric mountainous background are characteristic of high-quality steel engravings of this era.
Condition report:
Overall very good for age. Light general toning to the paper, mild foxing in margins, plate mark deeply impressed, and edges with minor handling wear. The engraved area remains strong, clean, and detailed with no tears or repairs.
Framing tips:
Ideal for framing with a warm cream or antique white mount and a classic wood or black moulding to accentuate the rustic romanticism and timeless character of this scene. Suitable for interiors styled with traditional European, rustic, or romantic decor, enhancing hallways, living rooms, or reading corners with its peaceful rural sentiment.

Entomological Elegance: A Collection of 19th Century Beetle Engravings
Located in Langweer, NL
The images are finely detailed engravings of beetles from a 19th-century scientific collection. Each beetle is rendered with precision, showcasing their unique physical characteristics, such as the segmentation of their bodies, the texture of their carapaces, the patterns and colors of their wing covers (elytra), and the varying shapes and lengths of their antennae and legs.
The species, as labeled in the engravings, are as follows:
From the first image:
1. **Apidie** - Possibly a reference to the Apidae family, which includes bees, but in this context, it likely refers to a type of beetle.
2. **Attelabe** - Likely a variant of the name for beetles in the family Attelabidae, known as leaf-rolling beetles.
3. **Bousier** - Common French name for dung beetles, which are part of the Scarabaeidae family.
4. **Cétoine** - Refers to beetles in the subfamily Cetoniinae, known as flower beetles.
5. **Geotrupe** - A genus of earth-boring dung beetles.
6. **Hanneton** - Common French name for beetles in the family Scarabaeidae, particularly the June beetles or May bugs.
7. **Oryctes** - A genus that includes the rhinoceros beetles.
8. **Trichie** - Refers to beetles in the genus Trichius, which are often found in flowers and resemble small bumblebees.
From the second image:
1. **Attelabe** - Again, likely referring to the Attelabidae family of leaf-rolling beetles.
2. **Calosoma** - A genus of ground beetles...
