Hand-Coloured Engraving Art Prints
Before colour printing existed, engravers cut the line work and painters filled it in by hand, which is why these plates still glow the way they do. Expect birds, botany, maps, costume studies and anatomical curiosities, all sharp black line under soft washed colour. If the subject matters more than the technique, the wider natural history art prints and vintage botanical art prints collections cover similar ground, with more variety in tone.
