Delicate wings and segmented legs emerge from the page—each insect meticulously rendered, their forms both alien and familiar. The precise lines reveal nature’s intricate designs, frozen in ink as if pinned for study. A hidden world, scaled down to fit the margins of paper.

Hans Walty (Swiss, 1868-1948)

Cyprinus Auratus var., The Gold-Fish. (1785-1797)

Marcus Elieser Bloch (German, 1723–1799)

A goldfish floats mid-page, its scales etched with precision—each delicate fin and gill rendered in stark black lines. The creature seems poised to flick its tail and dart off the paper, frozen yet alive under the engraver’s hand.

Hans Walty (Swiss, 1868-1948)

The Boletus mushroom stands firm, its cap rich and textured against the muted background. Delicate gills fan out beneath, precise as a scientific sketch yet alive with earthy depth. A quiet study of form and function, where nature’s design meets the page.

Anton Benedikt Reichenbach (German, 1804–1877)

A meticulous engraving of animals, each line precise yet alive—feathers, fur, and scales rendered with scientific clarity. The creatures seem poised between specimen and spirit, frozen mid-motion as if about to step off the page.
Verpa digitaliformis (1915-1945)

Hans Walty (Swiss, 1868-1948)

A meticulous engraving of a bird, its feathers rendered with precise lines. The creature perches mid-motion, caught between stillness and flight. Scientific detail meets artistry in this study of avian form.
