The Naturalists Library

We offer original antique hand colored engravings from Sir William Jardine's groundbreaking 40 volume opus The Naturalist's Library. Each 4 by 6 inch print is presented in an acid free mat ready for framing or presented as delivered.

The Naturalists Library published in 1833 – 1943 by William Lizars covered Ornithology, Mammalia, Entomology, and Ichthyology, featuring work by leading naturalists and stunning illustrations by artists like Edward Lear. Through this, Jardine democratized scientific knowledge for Victorian society.


Jardine’s and Lizars’ prints remain as groundbreaking today as they were in 1833. They deserve a place with anyone that appreciates the natural world and fine art.
