Description

British Parliament 1925 Vintage Lithograph
Roesel 1755 Hand-Colored Natural History Print
Original antique copperplate engraved print is from the supplement of Rösel von Rosenhof’s famous work "Insecten-Belustigung“ (Insect Entertainment), published by C.F.C. Kleemann & printed by Johann Joseph Fleischmann, Nuremberg, Germany, c1747-61:
Historie der Polypen und anderer kleiner Wasserinsecten (1755)
Historiae Polyporum. (History of the polyps) -- Several polyp species. Tab LXXXII,
Freshwater
polyps
(Tab 82)

T
his
engraving

polyps
.
The
polyp
is a sessile, or non-mobile, organism; well-known solitary
polyps
are the
sea
anemone and the freshwater hydra.
Augustus Iohannes Roesel von Rosenhof (1705-59) was a passionate observer of nature and mediator of fauna in microcosmos. The hand-colored plates are nationalistically correct documentation of these life forms, but at the same time reproduced with the artists supreme flair for composition, colors and forms.

The Nature of Prints & Engravings
: It was not until the 20th century that prints were commonly produced for the
print
itself. Prior to this, virtually all prints (and engravings) were produced as
illustrations
to be included in a manuscript, book, newspaper, or pamphlet. Therefore, a vast majority of original prints have been over the years removed from these original sources. Prints are produced using many different techniques:
relief printing
(woodcut & wood engraving),
intaglio printing
(steel & copper plate engraving, drypoint, aquatint, etc), and
planographic printing
(lithography, serigraphy, inkjet, laser, etc.). While the commercial value of a print depends on such factors as age, rarity, and condition, the real value of a print is its tie to its history and/or its esthetic beauty.
