Vintage marine biology illustrations
Full colour whimsical vintage fauna ephemera for the ichthyologist enthusiasts, marine scrapbooker or marine life appreciator
A series of 23 full page vintage reproduction prints, compromising of 110 sea creatures, from the original publication of Louis Renard's 'Poissons, Ecrevisses et Crabes' (Fish, Crayfish and Crabs) published in 1719, depicting the art thought to be that of Samuel Fallours. The original illustrations lay claim to being the first colour publication in colour on fish and celebrate the exquisiteness of the fish from the East Indies. The sea creatures are exotic and whimsical in style and are just a delight to view.
This book has been created to provide a new audience with the appreciation of the aesthetic splendour of these prints and have been left in their natural colour form to ensure authenticity. Apart from some formatting and cropping due to layout requirements, they are a true representation of the original publication.
Ideal for just appreciating the magnificence of these drawings or to use for crafters to cut and paste into collages, decoupage, art sketchbooks, junk journals, nature journals or even to cut out and place in photo collages or photo frames to create an art wall.
The backs of each image, with a decorative edge and semi transparent frame inner are designed to allow for notes or sketches, should you wish to develop this book further or use it as a personal sketchbook, but also perfect should you wish to use this as a craft project as the prints will not be obscured.
Our journals and planners are great for popping in your bag or having in your workspace or desk at home to grab when that special little thought comes to you and ensure you get the things you think about done! Suitable to be used with most media, pencils, pens, watercolours, pastels and perfect for creating collages and artwork ideas, however, felt tip pens may bleed through.
