Spck Hedgehog (1847)
The 1847 illustration "Spck Hedgehog," published by the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, shows a hedgehog in its natural environment. This depiction is an excellent example of the detailed and lifelike art that was popular in the 19th century to spread knowledge about the animal world. The fine lines and precise shading of the hedgehog's spines are testament to the care and dedication that went into creating such illustrations. These works were not only for aesthetic pleasure, but also for education and understanding of nature.
Interesting fact: The Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge (SPCK) is one of the oldest Christian publishing organizations in the world, founded in 1698. Originally founded with the goal of distributing Christian literature, the SPCK expanded its repertoire to include scientific and educational works in the 19th century. This strategic expansion helped to promote interest in natural history and science among the general public. A lesser-known detail is that the SPCK also played a significant role in distributing affordable and accessible books, which contributed to the education and enlightenment of broad sections of the population.

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.
