Fishes III (1885-1890) (1)

Frederick McCoy (Irish, unknown)

Delicate watercolor strokes bring these fish to life—each scale, fin, and glint of light rendered with scientific precision. The colors bleed softly, as if the creatures might flick their tails and slip off the page.
Fauna japonica Pl.030 (1833-1850)

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

Delicate wings unfold against precise lines, a Japanese insect preserved in ink. The engraving balances scientific detail with quiet elegance, each vein and segment rendered with exacting care. Here, nature meets meticulous craftsmanship, frozen in black and white.
Platycephalus sp (Tas) _ Flathead (1868)

Frank Edward Clarke (New Zealander, 1864–1935)

The flathead’s mottled skin blends with the seabed, its wide mouth poised. Watercolor strokes mimic the ripple of gills, the slow drift of a predator waiting.
White Eared-Pheasant (Crossoptilon tibetanum). (1918-1922)

George Edward Lodge (English, unknown)

The white eared-pheasant stands alert, its dark plumage stark against the muted background. Delicate watercolor strokes trace the bird’s ruffled feathers and crimson face, capturing its wild elegance. A quiet intensity lingers in its poised stance—a fleeting glimpse of untamed grace.
Die polycladen des golfes von Neapel und der angrenzenden meeres-abschnitte pl10 (1884)

Arnold Lang (Dutch, unknown)

Delicate polyclads glide across the page, their flattened bodies traced with intricate patterns. These marine flatworms from the Gulf of Naples reveal nature’s precision—each undulating edge, every subtle marking documented with scientific clarity. A hidden world of seafloor elegance unfolds in precise ink strokes.
Sikhim Himalayan Blood Partridge (Ithagenes cruentus affinis). (1918-1922)

George Edward Lodge (English, unknown)

A blood-red partridge perches on a rocky outcrop, its feathers sharp against the muted Himalayan backdrop. The bird’s dark eyes gleam with alertness, poised between stillness and flight. Watercolor strokes capture the rugged terrain and the quiet tension of a creature perfectly adapted to its harsh, high-altitude world.
Globe fish and Coffer fish (1893-1896)

Pierre Jacques Smit (Dutch, unknown)

Two fish hover on the page—one round as a lantern, the other boxy with rough edges. Delicate watercolor washes bring their scales to life, each brushstroke hinting at the ocean’s hidden oddities. No waves, no reefs, just these peculiar forms suspended in pale emptiness.
Armillaria aurantia Schäff. Quél. (1915-1945)

Hans Walty (Swiss, 1868-1948)

Golden-orange fungi cluster on the page, their gilled caps delicate yet bold against the stark white background. Each stem twists with lifelike precision, as if freshly plucked from damp forest soil. The engraving’s fine lines reveal every rib and curve, turning decay into something strangely elegant.
Morchella elata (1915-1945)

Hans Walty (Swiss, 1868-1948)

Delicate ridges spiral upward, forming a honeycombed cap. The Morchella elata stands poised, its hollow stem anchoring it to unseen earth. Shadows pool in the fungus’s crevices, hinting at damp forest floors where such specimens emerge unseen. A study in texture, each groove precise yet organic.
