Step back into the wild beauty of the 19th century with these hard to find, wildlife illustrations—each a unique piece dating from around 1865 to 1875. Lovingly removed from antique natural history books and professionally dated, these prints capture the detail and artistry of a bygone era when nature was documented with both scientific precision and artistic grace.
With various designs available—with only one of each available—these pieces are a treasure for nature lovers and collectors alike. Whether you’re drawn to the delicate rendering of birds, sketches of moths, or the Beatrix Potter-style scenes, these vintage illustrations offer something truly special.
They will be sent protected in protective cello sleeves, where you can frame or gift them. In a world where mass production is the norm, it’s rare to find original, historic nature artwork like this—especially in such limited quantity. These are the kinds of pieces that don't come around often and speak directly to the hearts of those who find beauty in the natural world and its history.
Please note: These are not my own illustrations, and I do not claim any artistic credit for them. I am simply offering these original antique prints as a curated collection of historical artwork, carefully sourced and preserved for resale. Each piece is an authentic fragment of the past, created by artists and naturalists of the 19th century.
