About the Item
Title: Unique 1805 Engraving of Fossilized Patterns and Geological Layers from Bertuch
Description:
This intriguing hand-colored engraving originates from Friedrich Justin Bertuch’s *Porte-Feuille des Enfants* (Children's Portfolio), published in 1805. It showcases stunning fossilized patterns and geological cross-sections, combining scientific observation with artistic beauty.
The engraving includes:
- Fig. 1: A fossilized plant or dendritic pattern, resembling delicate fern-like structures, formed naturally within stone.
- Fig. 2: A similar fossilized pattern, likely showcasing manganese or other mineral deposits that mimic organic forms.
- Fig. 3: A geological cross-section with intricate striations, illustrating the layers and sedimentary formations of the Earth's crust, offering a glimpse into its historical development.
This plate reflects the Enlightenment fascination with natural phenomena, showcasing an artistic approach to capturing the intricacies of fossils and geology. Bertuch’s work aimed to educate readers about the wonders of the natural world, making this engraving an excellent addition to collections focused on geology, paleontology, or antique scientific art.
