Hans Walty (Swiss, 1868-1948)

The delicate gills of Boletus ustulatus fan out like pleated silk, their warm ochre tones contrasting with the mushroom’s sturdy stem. Every ridge and shadow is rendered with precision, as if the fungus had just been plucked from damp forest soil.

Philipp Franz Balthasar von Siebold (German, 1796–1866)

Marcus Elieser Bloch (German, 1723–1799)

A detailed engraving of animals, their forms precise and lifelike, each line etched with scientific curiosity. The creatures seem poised between specimen and spirit, frozen yet full of motion.
Pholiota mutabilis Schaeffer. (1915-1945)

Hans Walty (Swiss, 1868-1948)

The Pholiota mutabilis clings to damp bark, its gills fanned like delicate pleats. The cap’s golden-brown hue darkens at the edges, as if stained by the forest’s shadows. A fleeting specimen, poised between decay and growth—here one season, gone the next.
Tetrodon Lagocephalus, The Starry Globe-fish. (1785-1797)

Marcus Elieser Bloch (German, 1723–1799)

The starry globe-fish floats suspended, its spiked body a delicate map of constellations against the paper’s pale void. Each engraving line traces the precise curve of its spines, the subtle gradient of its speckled skin—a scientific record transformed into quiet, meticulous art.
