Antique Hand-Colored Satyrus Statilinus Butterfly Pair by Sepp Brants, 1905
Located in Langweer, NL
Antique Butterfly Pair Satyrus Statilinus Sepp Brants 1905 Handcolor NOTE: WE SELL THE PRINTS UNFRAMED. THE PRINTS ARE ORIGINAL AND GUARANTEED OVER 100 YEARS OLD. This refined matching pair of antique butterfly engravings originates from Parts 1–2 of the rare third and final series of 'Nederlandsche Vlinders', published in The Hague by Martinus Nijhoff between 1905 and 1913. The work was executed under the direction of A. Brants as a continuation of the legendary Sepp tradition in Dutch entomological illustration, first begun in 1728. This late series represents the final chapter of one of the most important illustrated natural history projects ever produced in the Netherlands. Both plates depict the life cycle of Satyrus Statilinus, showing the butterfly in multiple wing positions alongside detailed studies of caterpillar, chrysalis, egg, and host plant. The scientific accuracy is paired with remarkably subtle hand coloring, revealing soft browns, muted greens, and carefully shaded contours. These plates reflect the transition from the great 18th-century copper engraving tradition into early 20th-century scientific illustration while fully preserving artisanal coloring techniques. This offering includes not only the two original hand-colored copper engravings, but also the complete original printed text leaves (in Dutch language) from Part 1–2, allowing the set to be preserved as a true historical entomological unit rather than isolated decorative prints. The plates come from the library of the noted Dutch lepidopterist Jan Hendrik Ernst Wittpen (1878–1956), with his library stamp present, adding strong scientific provenance. The third series of Sepp’s butterflies is markedly rarer on the market than the earlier volumes and is highly sought after by collectors of natural history, scientific art, and museum-quality wall decor. Presented as a matching diptych, this pair works especially well for libraries, studies, and refined contemporary interiors where historical scientific imagery adds quiet authority and warmth. Condition report Both engravings and accompanying text leaves are in excellent, near-mint condition. Clean impressions, fresh original hand coloring, strong plate marks visible, no foxing, no tears, no stains. Exceptionally well preserved. Framing tips This pair is ideally suited for a horizontal diptych presentation. Use soft ivory or warm light-grey museum matting with slim walnut, bronze, or muted gilt frames. Museum glass is strongly recommended to preserve the original coloring. Hanging the two plates with 4–6 cm spacing creates a balanced and elegant wall composition. NOTE: WE SELL THE PRINTS UNFRAMED.

Antique and Vintage Prints for Wall Decor

Prints are works of art produced in multiple editions. Though several copies of a specific artwork can exist, collectors consider antique and vintage prints originals when they have been manually created by the artist or are “impressions” that are part of the artist’s intent for the work.

Modern artists use a range of printmaking techniques to produce different types of prints such as relief, intaglio and planographic. Relief prints are created by cutting away a printing surface to leave only a design. Ink or paint is applied to the raised parts of the surface, and it is used to stamp or press the design onto paper or another surface. Relief prints include woodcuts, linocuts and engravings.

Intaglio prints are the opposite of relief prints in that they are incised into the printing surface. The artist cuts the design into a block, plate or other material and then coats it with ink before wiping off the surface and transferring the design to paper through tremendous pressure. Intaglio prints have plate marks showing the impression of the original block or plate as it was pressed onto the paper.

Artists create planographic prints by drawing a design on a stone or metal plate using a grease crayon. The plate is washed with water, then ink is spread over the plate and it adheres to the grease markings. The image is then stamped on paper to make prints.

All of these printmaking methods have an intricate process, although each can usually transfer only one color of ink. Artists use separate plates or blocks for multiple colors, and together these create one finished work of art.

Find prints ranging from the 18th- and 19th-century bird illustrations by J.C. Sepp to mid-century modern prints, as well as numerous other antique and vintage prints at 1stDibs. Browse the collection today and read about how to arrange wall art in your space.
