Notorynchus cepedianus (Tas)_ Broad seven-gill shark (before 1870)

Frank Edward Clarke (New Zealander, 1864–1935)

The broad seven-gill shark glides through the page, its jagged teeth bared, gills flared—a predator frozen mid-hunt. Shadows cling to its sleek body, every scale rendered with clinical precision. This isn’t just a drawing; it’s a silent snarl from the deep.
De uitlandsche kapellen voorkomende in de drie waereld-deelen, Asia, Africa en America pl13 (1779-1782)

Pieter Cramer (Dutch, 1721–1776)

Delicate wings unfurl in precise engravings, each vein and spot meticulously recorded. These butterflies, frozen mid-flight, reveal nature’s intricate patterns—a silent dance of color and form across continents.
The Satyr Tragopan (Tragopan satyra). (1918-1922)

Archibald Thorburn (Scottish, 1860–1935)

A crimson-feathered Satyr Tragopan perches among mossy branches, its vivid blue facial wattles stark against the muted greens. The bird’s intense gaze and flared plumage suggest a moment of alertness—perhaps sensing a distant threat or rival in the dense undergrowth.
Abbildungen zu Oken’s Allgemeiner Naturgeschichte für alle Stände Pl.061 (1841)

Lorenz Oken (German, unknown)

Delicate veins branch across translucent leaves, each curve etched with precision. A hidden world unfolds—petals unfurl, stems twist, nature’s geometry laid bare in ink. No flourish escapes the page; every thorn and tendril holds its place. Here, science and art share the same sharp line.
Fish Series, No. 4 (1916)

Charles Demuth (American, 1883–1935)

A lone fish floats in pale watercolor, its scales rendered with scientific precision yet softened by the brush. The delicate wash of blues and grays makes it seem suspended mid-motion, caught between observation and imagination.
Hypholoma capnoides Fr. (1915-1945)

Hans Walty (Swiss, 1868-1948)

Delicate gills fan out beneath the pale cap, each rib precise as lace. The mushroom stands solitary, its muted hues etched with scientific clarity—a quiet study of decay’s quiet elegance.
Anthias testudineus, The Tortoise-fish. (1785-1797)

Marcus Elieser Bloch (German, 1723–1799)

A delicate fish with tortoise-like markings swims across the page, its scales etched in precise lines. The engraving balances scientific detail with quiet elegance, turning a marine creature into something both studied and artful.
Watching the prey

Henriëtte Ronner-Knip (Dutch, 1821–1909)

A cat crouches low, eyes locked on unseen prey. Its body tenses, every muscle coiled for the pounce. The quiet before the strike hangs thick in the air. Nearby, another feline watches, indifferent yet alert. The hunt unfolds in silent, deadly focus.
Boletus luteus L. (1915-1945)

Hans Walty (Swiss, 1868-1948)

A cluster of Boletus luteus mushrooms rises from the forest floor, their golden caps glowing against the dark earth. Delicate gills and sturdy stems are rendered with scientific precision, yet the image hums with quiet vitality—as if these fungi might dissolve into the soil at any moment.
