Shells, Nautilus, Pearl Oysters, and Mussels (1798)
Friedrich Justin Bertuch was a versatile German publisher, writer, and entrepreneur of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. His 1798 work "Shells, Nautilus, Pearl Oysters, and Mussels" is a fascinating example of the scientific illustrations of his time. This illustration features a detailed depiction of shells, nautilus, pearl oysters, and mussels, executed with great precision and artistic skill. Bertuch's work is known for its scientific accuracy and aesthetic appeal, making it of interest to both scientists and art lovers.
Interesting fact: Friedrich Justin Bertuch was not only a successful publisher but also a pioneer of children's literature. He founded the "Journal des Luxus und der Moden," considered one of the world's first fashion magazines. Furthermore, Bertuch was a patron of education and advocated for the dissemination of knowledge by publishing the "Bilderbuch für Kinder," one of the first illustrated children's book series. These works helped to awaken and foster interest in science and art among young readers.

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.
