Marine Invertebrates Print: Crab, Lobster, Horseshoe Crab - 1867

Crustaceans & Marine Invertebrates Print: Crab, Lobster, Horseshoe Crab – Antique 1867
This detailed antique print depicts a diverse range of crustaceans and marine invertebrates, including crabs, lobsters, shrimps, barnacles, copepods, and the horseshoe crab, rendered in fine hand-coloured engravings. It originates from the Atlas der Natuurlijke Geschiedenis voor scholen en huisgezinnen, adapted into Dutch by T.C. Winkler after Traugott Bromme, and published in Amsterdam by J.C. Loman in 1867. Designed for educational use, this plate introduced 19th-century students to marine biology and invertebrate diversity.
The labelled figures include:
1. Shore crab (Carcinus maenas)
2. Blue crab (Callinectes sapidus)
3. Spider crab (Maja squinado)
4. Red rock crab (Cancer productus)
5. Fiddler crab (Uca species)
6. Mosaic crab (Lophozozymus pictor)
7. Porcelain crab (Porcellanidae species)
8. Lobster (Homarus gammarus)
9. Branchiopod (Branchiopoda species)
10. Mantis shrimp (Stomatopoda species)
11. Krill (Euphausiacea species)
12. Barnacle larva (Cirripedia species)
12a. Nauplius stage
12b. Cypris stage
13. Amphipod (Amphipoda species)
14. Isopod (Isopoda species)
15. Water flea (Daphnia species)
16. Cyclops copepod (Cyclopoida species)
16a. Adult copepod
16b. Egg stage
17. Horseshoe crab (Limulus polyphemus)
18. Fairy shrimp (Anostraca species)
19. Copepod (Copepoda species)
20. Ostracod (Ostracoda species)
21. Harpacticoid copepod (Harpacticoida species)
22. Barnacle cypris larva
Produced using copper engraving with meticulous hand colouring, the print shows fine anatomical lines and vibrant detailing, highlighting each species' structure, limb arrangement, and carapace shape. Each invertebrate is illustrated systematically for easy comparative study, reflecting 19th-century natural history educational standards before photographic field guides were available.
Condition summary:
Good condition for its age, with slight toning and minor scattered foxing mainly in the margins. The paper remains strong with no tears or repairs, and the hand colouring is vivid and well-preserved.

19th-Century Lithograph of the Puma and Cheetah in Graceful Stances

19th-Century Lithograph of the Puma and Cheetah in Graceful Stances
This exquisite 19th-century lithograph showcases two remarkable big cats: the cougar, or puma (De Couguar of puma), and the cheetah, referred to as the "tiger wolf" (De Tijgerwolf of Gepard). Originally published in *De Zoogdieren: afgebeeld en in hunne levenswijze geschetst*, this illustration captures the physical differences between these two agile predators with remarkable accuracy.
The puma (Puma concolor), also known as the mountain lion, is native to the Americas, ranging from Canada to Patagonia. Unlike other big cats, pumas lack the ability to roar, making them more closely related to smaller feline species. They are solitary hunters known for their stealth and adaptability to various terrains, from dense forests to arid deserts.
The cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus...

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.
