Snake Viper II (1810)
John Wilkes was a notable 19th-century British illustrator and publisher who specialized in scientific illustrations. His 1810 work "Snake Viper II" is a fascinating example of his ability to capture the beauty and complexity of nature in his illustrations. This depiction of a snake shows the precise attention to detail and scientific interest that characterizes Wilkes' work. The fine lines and careful shading give the snake a vibrant presence that is both informative and aesthetically pleasing.
Interesting fact: John Wilkes was not only a talented illustrator, but also a passionate publisher who was committed to the dissemination of scientific knowledge. A lesser-known fact about Wilkes is that he often collaborated with leading scientists of his time to ensure that his illustrations were not only artistically accurate, but also scientifically accurate. This collaboration helped ensure that his works were highly regarded in scientific circles and are still considered valuable historical documents today. Wilkes' commitment to science and his ability to combine art and science make him a fascinating figure in the history of scientific illustration.

Print quality & material
We believe that art has the power to inspire the mind, tell stories and transform spaces.
That's why we put our hearts into every step of the printing process to ensure that every work we produce meets the highest artistic standards.
printing process
Our fine art giclée printers use 12 different ink tanks and produce museum-quality art prints. Thanks to specially pigmented inks, significantly more color nuances can be displayed than with conventional printing processes and other providers.
Print medium
We use extra-heavy (400g/m2) premium canvas made from 100% cotton. The high grammage and texture of the canvas ensures a particularly high-quality and almost three-dimensional appearance.
Environmentally friendly
We only use original and high-quality pigment ink which contains real pigment particles. This is UV-resistant, solvent-free, vegan and environmentally friendly.
UV & moisture resistant
Thanks to the UV resistance of our pigment inks, the prints do not fade or discolor and retain their color brilliance for up to 100 years.
