Snake Boa Constrictor (1810)
John Wilkes was a notable illustrator and publisher of the early 19th century, known for his detailed and accurate depictions of nature. His 1810 work "Snake Boa Constrictor" is a striking example of his ability to capture the fascinating world of reptiles on paper. The illustration shows the majestic boa constrictor in all its glory, with meticulous attention to the scale structure and the animal's lithe movement. Wilkes' work was often found in science books, delighting both scientists and laypeople alike.
Fun fact: John Wilkes was not only a talented illustrator, but also a passionate publisher who was dedicated to making knowledge accessible. A lesser-known fact about Wilkes is that he often collaborated with leading naturalists of his day to ensure that his illustrations were scientifically accurate. This collaboration resulted in some of the most accurate and aesthetically pleasing scientific illustrations of his era. In addition, Wilkes was known for his sharp humor and ability to inject a touch of wit into even the driest scientific subjects, which made his works particularly popular with a wide audience.

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.
