Sea Life Print: Shark, Seahorse, Sunfish, Stingray – Antique 1867
This striking antique print depicts a wide variety of marine life, including sharks, rays, sunfish, seahorses, and exotic fish species, rendered in detailed 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. Created for educational purposes, this plate introduced 19th-century students to ocean biodiversity and the anatomical features of unusual sea creatures.
The labelled figures include:
1. Frilled shark (Chlamydoselachus anguineus)
2. Hammerhead shark (Sphyrna mokarran)
3. Sawfish (Pristis species)
4. Monkfish or anglerfish (Lophius piscatorius)
5. Stingray (Dasyatidae species)
6. Sturgeon (Acipenser species)
7. Pipefish (Syngnathinae species)
8. Eel (Anguillidae species)
9. Pufferfish (Tetraodontidae species)
10. Ocean sunfish (Mola mola)
11. Boxfish (Ostracion cubicus)
12. Cowfish (Lactoria cornuta)
13. Parrotfish (Scaridae species)
14. Snake eel (Ophichthidae species)
15. Seahorse (Hippocampus species)
16. Flying gurnard (Dactylopteridae species)
Produced using copper engraving with meticulous hand colouring, the print shows precise anatomical lines and naturalistic shading, bringing each species to life with detailed fin structures, scales, and vivid patterning. These plates served as essential teaching tools in schools and libraries before photographic marine biology guides were widely available.
Condition summary:
Good condition for its age, with slight overall toning and minor scattered foxing mainly in the margins. The paper is strong with no tears or repairs, and the hand colouring remains vivid and well-preserved.
Framing tips:
Frame this marine natural history print in a black, dark wood, or walnut frame with a cream or off-white mount to enhance its detailed engravings and oceanic colours. For a traditional interior, a gold frame adds warmth and antique character. UV-protective glass is recommended to preserve the colours and prevent further toning. This antique zoological print will enrich any marine art collection, educational interior, or natural history display with timeless scientific beauty and decorative intrigue.
