Atlas państwa zwierzęcego Pl.84 (1905)

Kurt Lampert (German, unknown)

A meticulous engraving of the animal kingdom, where each creature is rendered with scientific precision—feathers, fur, and scales etched in fine detail, as if lifted from a naturalist’s field notes. The lines hum with life, transforming the page into a silent menagerie.
Foreign butterflies occurring in the three continents Asia, Africa and America Pl.411 (1779-1782)

Pieter Cramer (Dutch, 1721–1776)

Vibrant wings unfold across continents—Asian, African, American butterflies pinned to the page, their delicate patterns preserved in ink. Each specimen a fleeting traveler, now frozen mid-flight, revealing nature’s intricate brushstrokes.
Morchella esculenta L. (Pers.) (1915-1945)

Hans Walty (Swiss, 1868-1948)

Delicate folds of the Morchella esculenta rise from the page, their honeycombed caps catching an unseen light. Each hollow and ridge is rendered with such precision you might mistake the paper for damp forest soil. A single spore seems poised to drift from the gnarled stem.
Fauna japonica Pl.004 (1833-1850)

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

Delicate wings unfold against crisp paper—a Japanese beetle preserved in ink. Every vein, each iridescent fleck, rendered with scientific precision yet pulsing with life. The specimen seems to hover between two worlds: pinned yet alive, foreign yet intimately observed. A silent exchange across cultures, captured in chitin and line.
Poissons, ecrevisses et crabes, de diverses couleurs et figures extraordinaires.. Pl.052 (1718-1719) (1)

Louis Renard (French, 1678–1746)

Vibrant fish dart across the page, their scales shimmering in impossible hues. A crimson crab claws at the edge, while a cobalt crayfish curls beside it—each creature more fantastical than the last, as if plucked from a fever dream of the deep.
Abbildungen zu Oken’s Allgemeiner Naturgeschichte für alle Stände Pl.021 (1841)

Lorenz Oken (German, unknown)

Delicate veins branch across translucent leaves, each line precise as a surgeon’s sketch. Ferns unfurl beside spiked seed pods, their forms balanced between scientific clarity and quiet elegance. The page hums with hidden order—a silent taxonomy of stems and petals laid bare.
Ornithologia methodice digesta Pl.120 (1767-1776)

Saverio Manetti (Italian, 1723–1784)

A meticulous engraving of a bird, its feathers rendered with precise lines, stands frozen mid-motion. The scientific detail transforms the creature into both specimen and art, inviting closer study of each delicate stroke.
Boletus felleus Bull., Thylopilus felleus Fr. (1915-1945)

Hans Walty (Swiss, 1868-1948)

The bitter bolete rises from damp earth, its spongy underside and smooth cap rendered with clinical precision. Each line traces the fungus’s deceptive beauty—edible in appearance, yet unpalatably acrid to taste. A study in contrasts, where scientific accuracy meets nature’s quiet trickery.
Anthias formosus, The Grunt. (1785-1797)

Marcus Elieser Bloch (German, 1723–1799)

A slender fish with vibrant stripes glides through imagined waters, its delicate fins etched in precise detail. The grunt’s scales shimmer with life, frozen in an elegant dance between scientific accuracy and artistic grace.
